A QUOTE FROTE FROM FREDERICK BUECHNER:

YOU CAN KISS YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS GOOD-BYE AND PUT MILES BETWEEN YOU, BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU CARRY THEM WITH YOU IN YOUR HEART, YOUR MIND, YOUR STOMACH, BECAUSE YOU DO NOT JUST LIVE IN A WORLD, A WORLD LIVES IN YOU.

A DEATH DESCRIBED

In that place the twilight comes

And the air moves gently from the angels' wings,

And swirls with the breath of the Holy Spirit,

And enfolds the soul.

And in due time the silence comes

And all depart

And in that place the silence holds

And the air smells of violets
