Long Journey Home



"..,Let us assume that man is on the road to self-discovery. What is he to discover?--That he is really free, but that, in order to be free, he must first go through experiences which will teach him how to use his freedom properly; and, after the lesson is learned, he will be free indeed." - Ernest Holmes from "Science of Mind"

Today, I remember my friends. I am grateful for their interest in me and for my interest in them. We are better people because of these connections.

One special friend has made her transition to pure spirit this morning after months of physical pain, mental confusion and the chaos of cancer. She used all of her strength and endurance in this journey and now she rests. Her husband, children, family and friends rest. We miss her physical presence and remember her loving essence and after this dust settles, our friendship and connections will be stronger. She will always be remembered.

"Be open to your dreams, people. Embrace that distant shore. Because our mortal journey is over all too soon." - Chris Stevens, Northern Exposure, It Happened in Juneau, 1992
