So it is in celebration of the life and spirit of Stewart Farrar*br*that I raise my glass to him in joy that he has passed beyond the*br*limitations of his aging body to re-embrace the Land of Youth and Beauty.*br*During the three days that his spirit makes its rounds of this world, may he*br*place his footprint upon the sod of his birth, the sod of his naming and the*br*sod of his body's death. If we should recognize the touch of his spirit's*br*breath upon our thoughts in the continuing days may we speak his name in*br*awareness and honor, so that his memory will live forever in the minds of*br*the people. Someday, in the not too distant future, may I cry at his rebirth*br*within this world and his next chosen journey upon the wheel of mortal life.*p*Searles*p*Deborah wrote,*br*: This was just forwarded to me from another list........*br*:*br*: "Some sad news I am afraid. This was supposed to be *br*: kept quiet until after*br*: the passing ceremony on Thursday, but somehow it leaked out, *br*: so now I have*br*: been told to pass the news around. Janet and Gavin ask for *br*: some quiet and*br*: privacy for the next few days."*br*:*br* Stewart Farrar Crosses The Veil Deborah 500 Wed Feb 9 10:43:09 2000
