*p*I am with you completely here, My Brother.*p*I was always taught that if we but knew the truth of existence...the glory of the Summerlands and the pains that physical life involved, we would throw parties at each death and mourn each birth.*p*When I first heard this, it appalled me...especially since all of my three children, both my parents and many friends have died (sadly, lots to suicide or Aids) but since then it has struck me as true.*p*In fact - this weekend - I will share a Vedic story along this line...but right now my hearthmate is a-calling.*p*Comfort to Gavin and Janet who have lost someone very precious...*p*Nine Blessings!*p*Branfionn  *p**br*Searles wrote,*br*: Among Celts, it is said that we celebrate at passings and *br*: that we cry at*br*: birthings. So it is in celebration of the life and spirit of *br*: Stewart Farrar*br*: that I raise my glass to him in joy that he has passed *br*: beyond the*br*: limitations of his aging body to re-embrace the Land of *br*: Youth and Beauty.*br*: During the three days that his spirit makes its rounds of *br*: this world, may he*br*: place his footprint upon the sod of his birth, the sod of *br*: his naming and the*br*: sod of his body's death. If we should recognize the touch of *br*: his spirit's*br*: breath upon our thoughts in the continuing days may we speak *br*: his name in*br*: awareness and honor, so that his memory will live forever in *br*: the minds of*br*: the people. Someday, in the not too distant future, may I *br*: cry at his rebirth*br*: within this world and his next chosen journey upon the wheel *br*: of mortal life.*br*:*br*: Searles*br*:*br*: Deborah wrote,*br*: : This was just forwarded to me from another list........*br*: :*br*: : "Some sad news I am afraid.
