Its been one year since you passed away - I only met you once and spent the day with you but it felt like I had known you a long time. You had so much love and concern for people around you and devoted yourself to serving others. You gave of yourself totally and this heartfelt service will light up your path and lead you home unswervingly. For those you left behind, we will be comforted by these words of one very wise man; "Do not stand by my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am a diamond glint on the snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awake in the mourning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starshine at night. Do not stand by my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die." -Nma, Ogom and Tayten
