It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. <\/em><\/div>\n
~Ecclesiastes 7:2<\/em><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
May I not emerge from this mourning unchanged.<\/div>\n
May I value life more.<\/div>\n
May I live with the wisdom and honesty that comes from being real about death…\u00a0 death comes to us all.<\/div>\n
May my eternal perspective blossom and flourish with your beautiful hope.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Oh God I hope I remember the words… to say, to pray, to praise…\u00a0 that when I remember them I\u00a0will be able to\u00a0calmly articulate in my day to day…<\/div>\n
Oh God I hope to be peaceful, joyful, full of kindness and graceful…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But Oh God I could do without the fake, the denial, the blissful ignorance…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Oh God, my hope…can’t do without you Jesus…can’t do without love.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Always<\/div>\n
