A blogmate, living far away from her family of origin, writes of her grandmother’s burial yesterday.

This post is dedicated to everybody in that family who’s touched by this passing. And to the rest of us who have been absent when loved ones die.
In such times, I’ve been comforted by this song: “Wanting Memories,” from Sweet Honey and the Rock’s STILL ON THE JOURNEY:

May the gratitude, and the memories, remain ever green.

Anita loves cats. This must be because she, too, has had nine lives. She’s been dancing since she could walk, she was a commercial artist and advertising producer, she earned a third-degree black belt in Aikido, she is a drummer with the Afrique Aya Dance Company, she is a research attorney, and she’s a meditator and a devoted student of Nonviolent Communication. She also spent one lifetime sidelined with a devastating back injury in 1992. Since then – FELDENKRAIS METHOD® to the rescue. The FELDENKRAIS METHOD is all about dreaming concretely – thinking intelligently and independently by way of a gracious and kind physicality. The work affords all who study it a process by which to reach, with movement, into the mind and the heart, to make nine lives into one whole being.
that photo was so touching and gentle………beautifully done
Caren, that was exactly the effect I was hoping for. I love that you got it. Thank you for *your* sensitivity.
Wow, thank you so much. I am very touched and what a beautiful surprise. Your picture is absolutely perfect, comforting, serene and as Caren said, beautifully done. And that song! I’d never heard it before and it is really lovely.
Again, thank you so much.
I’m really glad, Eleanor.
