It's been a bad week

[Raven]

there are many belief systems out there.... about life and death...
the here after... i like to think that each life time is a sojurn to earth to get closer to perfection or god.... and that the spirit lives on...

when i lost my dad BoB this poem helped me a great deal and it still does today... because you never really get over the loss...you merely learn how to live with it...over time...

so when your out there in NATURE... taking in all the beauty
she can deliver.... remember this poem ....or it's meaning ...
as it really helps.

.............................
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
