Hey guys this is a message to all of Michael's hurting fans from Debbie Kunesh who is the creator of the "Reflections on the Dance" website. I just wanted to share this with you guys.

Michael was a very special person and touched a lot of lives, but I also think he would want everyone to move on and live out their own legacies and if they wanted to honor him, as he was humble and I think would be honored and humbled by that, to do what he did. To follow the example he left us with. To show love to others, to try to follow in Jesus' footsteps as all Christians are called to do, to use their own God-given abilities to make a difference in what God calls them to do.
Instead, so many remain in this anger and deep, unrelenting pain over his loss that they cannot move on with their lives. I do understand the pain. I just honestly feel a need to really state this because I feel that this is the time. It's something I've been feeling in my spirit.
As some of you may remember the vision of Michael's profile that appeared on my floor weeks ago minutes before I went on Ustream, and the photo I shared...I am still fully trying to figure out what all that meant. But, thanks to a friend, I was directed to the Dancing the Dream book, "Angel of Light" poem, page 105, and the picture to the left of the poem, from "Remember the time" is almost an EXACT match to the profile I saw...right down to the hair, the curl coming down his face (even the curl is the exact same shape)...it all matches. The only difference is in the profile I saw, his eyes were looking upward. I think there was a message there, I honestly do. I've spent time trying to figure out if it was a personal message or a message I was to share, or both. I think it may be both.
From the "Angel of Light" poem:
..."Your angel is a speck of light perched at the very center of your heart. It is smaller than an atom, but just wait. Once you get close to it, your angel will expand. The closer you come, the more it will grown, until finally, in a burst of light, you will see your angel in its true shape, and at that very instant, you will also see yourself."
"So now I am looking for my angel all the time. I sit silently, turning my gaze inward. It wasn't long before I caught a glimpse of something. "Is that you, Angel, holding a candle?" One flicker and it was gone. Yet that was enough to set my heart wildly beating. Next time my angel will be waving a lamp, then holding a torch aloft, then lighting a bonfire.
That's what the angel-watcher promised, and now that I have caught site of glory, I know enough to believe." (from Dancing the Dream)
We all have bonfires to light. Are you going about the business of lighting yours, or are you so mired in pain, anger and grief that there isn't even a flicker? Are you letting the anger and pain consume you? It's time to move forward and to turn to love instead and take action out of love coming from your heart.
We all need to see ourselves. We need to do what Michael did and use what we've been given to promote change. That can take many forms...including putting truth out there about Michael, peacefully trying to eradicate hate. But it also should mean expanding out into the world and using the gifts we've been given. Michael loved and admired and at times, mourned the greats. Great dancers and performers, for instance, that he modeled his talent after (and then took it to a whole other level of miraculous art), but he didn't stay there. He helped children, the dying, the sick. He put his gifts and abilities into action, even when he was hurting and in pain. We must all do the same. It's time to move forward.
Moving forward doesn't mean forgetting. Michael's legacy and spirit are with us.
Anger doesn't equal action, but love, by it's very nature, if it's real and pure, has action as it's center, and that action, in itself, ends up being the visible, tangible proof of the love that, if only spoken, means nothing.
Lots of love,
Debbie
