Happy trails, Chris. Enjoy your new journey.
...the Khemitians (who Hakim called the very ancient and highly sophisticated, pre-dynastic Egyptians) never spoke of death ---but, rather of “westing”, reflecting the paths of our sun and stars. They knew that we are ultimately immortal, and are in a constant state of change…or transformation.

Damn. Even knowing it was coming it still hits like a ton of bricks.
DU has lost so many good people through nature's course, and with each one it just seems to get harder. I thought I was prepared for this news to come soon, but now that it's happened I realize I wasn't. Safe passage, Chris. And much love and compassion to his family.

I do this when someone dear passes. Have done a few times in recent weeks. It doesn't take long but gives one a sense of closure... the song is meant to guide the soul to the good blue road to meet their family.
I didn't know this man but was here shortly before he went in for his surgery, I had hoped he'd have a good recovery and followed your updates. He meant so much to so many here that I felt compelled to do that... I am sorry for the sadness of those left behind. It is the only thing I know to do in these instances. |

127. I read this at funerals.
|
The last paragraph of The Bridge of San Luis Rey, a short novel by Thornton Wilder, 1927:
“But soon we shall die and all memory of those five will have left the earth, and we ourselves shall be loved for a while and forgotten. But the love will have been enough; all those impulses of love return to the love that made them. Even memory is not necessary for love. There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning."

I read it at funerals because I think it's appropriate for anyone to state the primacy of love, religion or no religion.
Then there was the time I read a bunch of Buddhist quotes at a graveside service in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, just outside of Tulsa. They are very conservative and right-wing religious people there. All the Christians ran off and wouldn't talk to me afterwards (I guess I had those heathen cooties) and one person told me I upstaged the preacher!!

when he posted about organizing his school's walk-out that was fun and, just one of his many great OPs.
He was an all round Solid DUer. Let me know when his memorial page gets set up here. I wish Admin would list it under Main Forums for easier access. Will you be going to the funeral/memorial ...? I know you would, if you could but, logistics might cause a problem. Take Care and be especially kind to yourself in the coming days.
