In Memory

I know Laurie will read this blog at some point, and I felt like in addition to acknowledging the beginning of life, with all of these birthdays, I wanted to also acknowledge her mom. She passed away today, and she will be missed very much by all those who knew her.

NATIVE AMERICAN PRAYER
I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still - in each new dawn
