All God’s angels come to us disguised.

May your spirit frolic and soar with carefree abandon among the trees along the Fraser. I will remember you. Under the cedars beside the pond. Lilium.

Love you forever.

Our beautiful shooting star
You lit up our world
And then you were gone
The gentle stream of love and grief flows on
I know we'll be together again
In some form
One day.

I will know you in all the words of the wind.

Little northern flicker ... may you soar.

I will know you in the Lupin meadow.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Miika.
We miss you so much and
think of you every day.
Love you forever,
sweet beautiful gentle soul.

On the Death of the Beloved ~ John O’Donohue

Though we need to weep your loss,
You dwell in that safe place in our hearts,
Where no storm or night or pain can reach you.

Your love was like the dawn
Brightening over our lives
Awakening beneath the dark
A further adventure of colour.

The sound of your voice
Found for us
A new music
That brightened everything.

Whatever you enfolded in your gaze
Quickened in the joy of its being;
You placed smiles like flowers
On the altar of the heart.
Your mind always sparkled
With wonder at things.

Though your days here were brief,
Your spirit was live, awake, complete.

We look towards each other no longer
From the old distance of our names;
Now you dwell inside the rhythm of breath,
As close to us as we are to ourselves.

Though we cannot see you with outward eyes,
We know our soul's gaze is upon your face,
Smiling back at us from within everything
To which we bring our best refinement.

Let us not look for you only in memory,
Where we would grow lonely without you.
You would want us to find you in presence,
Beside us when beauty brightens,
When kindness glows
And music echoes eternal tones.

When orchids brighten the earth,
Darkest winter has turned to spring;
May this dark grief flower with hope
In every heart that loves you.

May you continue to inspire us:

To enter each day with a generous heart.
To serve the call of courage and love
Until we see your beautiful face again
In that land where there is no more separation,
Where all tears will be wiped from our mind,
And where we will never lose you again.

John O’Donohue ~ On the Death of the Beloved

Be My Dreamer About Us

I will know you in the babble of Byrne Creek.

I wish you had the chance to know the rain and snow; fall, winter, spring.

May all dogs be loved.
