Sometimes,
the courage and strength
of those we love
shines as a beacon
inviting us to live
a greater life
if we choose,
as you have
and are now
doing.

That light grows brighter still
as we do our work
of simply being
and expressing
as best as we know how
our unique vessel of God
or that which we hold most divine.

By sharing through your grief
you transform it
eventually.

By putting pen to paper
you caress
and give voice
to the holy wounding
making way
for redemption.

Always,
the simple act
of sharing
with as open heart
as you are able,
gives space
for the blossoming of many
and for that
I am
grateful.

Thank you, David
for being.
Your music
words
and way of walking
the talk
shine mightily.
