Think of me now and again as I was in life,Īt some moments it's pleasant to recall, but not for long. May the radiant Light of Your Wisdom illumineĪnd Your Power support and strengthen me.Īs I entrust myself into Your Loving Care, May the warmth of Your love enfold and uplift me. I eagerly look forward to further service Proclaims in organ tones, To Him we shall return.Īs I leave this body in which I have given service I shall become what no mind e'er conceived. I must pass on: all except God doth perish. With angels blest but even from angelhood Yet once more I shall die as Man, to soar Why should I fear? When was I less by dying? The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: Till freed from stress and worldly strife There are others who are watching her coming, The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not in her Īnd just at the moment when someone at my side says, "She is gone", She is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw her,Īnd just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination. She is an object and I stand watching herĪnd someone at my side says, “She is gone!” Gone where? So life and death, the two of them, are fine.Ī ship sails to the morning breeze and starts for the ocean. Whatever is born comes around again to dying. Whatever has died is sure to be born again ![]() Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.Īnd when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.Īnd when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.Ĭompare the two of them to water and ice. #When i am dead cry for me a little free#Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?įor what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?Īnd what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? You write that you cried when your dog died and you also cry at certain. Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king? So it makes me feel even worse that I was able to express some emotion at those. Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond Īnd like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.įor life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one. The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light. Then Almitra spoke, saying, 'We would ask now of Death.'īut how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life? One brief moment and all will be as it was before only better, infinitely happier and forever we will all be one together with Christ. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. I have only slipped away to the next room. ![]()
