9.30.10
I went to a memorial service last night for my former boss and dear friend Cathy. The following quotes were in the program and, full of wisdom as she was, were just the things that she would have said if she were there. As per the first poem, I choose to believe that she was.
"When you awakened in the morning's hush,
I am the swift upifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand there at my grave and cry;
I am not there - I did not die."
- Buddhist funeral chant

and
"Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower." - Hans Christian Anderson
