At the ripe old age of 108 in human years, Penny Reiki Master takes good karma into her next life through her good heart, compassion and wisdom. I have read that spiritually evolved animals can reincarnate into human form in their next life. Lama Zopa Rinpoche gives an account of this occurring in his book, "Virtue and Reality"(2012). I'm sure Penny will let us know if this does happen to her. Shortly after Penny passed, she came to us in the form of a wild white cockatoo with a golden yellow crest. The bird's calm presence was unusual for a wild one and cockatoo usually stay in flocks. It spoke to us and answered our questions. Using mental telepathy, I understood the wild speak of the bird. Penny had passed over the rainbow bridge smoothly, swiftly and happy to be free of her old, ailing body. This sign from her helped my family and I with healing our grief. We were blessed to have her for over 15 dog years as part of our family. I only need to look in my heart and she is there.
