Olafur Arnalds – Undone

TEN years ago today .. We laid our daughter/sister down for the final time. NOTHING can prepare a person for that and there are no words for it just the fact that it happened. Since that day I have thrown down a requiem every year between Con’s birthday and this day. The pain and sorrow doesn’t ease and every day is one more day to practice ACCEPTANCE and letting go in remembrance that this angel was a gift beyond words for those blessed 19 years and one that will never be forgotten by those who loved her.

Until we meet again ConTzu …. xx

Lubomyr Melnyk & Peter Broderick – Le Miroir D’Amour

“You Still Live (Overcoming Grief Sonnet)

After your month long battle for breath,

Today I place you in nature’s lap.

I know she’ll care for you well, like she once brought you to the world.

Fact of the matter is, you still live, just in different form among the elements.

Nature’s forces make us awake and restless, Nature’s forces coerce us into eternal rest.

There is no heaven, there is no hell, these are concepts made by cowards.

Life is too sacred to be confined by obsolete lies and superstitions.

Your light of affection shall continue to shine bright in my memories.

I won’t say goodbye, for you still live.”

– Abhijit Naskar, Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets
