Circumstance brought danger and tragedy.
You gave peace to my unsettled heart.
As a steadfast prayer wheel spinning in an ungodly world, with rapt cadence you followed the rhythms of the planet.
A trusting disciple, your spirit forever drawn to a place where an authentic life-your life-could exist.
Taking me with you, I will never regret following you there.
Sorrowful, I stand here alone knowing it was an amazing journey.

I would like to think that most of us would have (or have had) people in their lives that have set good examples for living their lives. There have certainly been many in my life. Life certainly is an amazing journey, only wish more would see it as such and relish the beauty of each step.
