the energy that had for so long flowed through
her was moving back into the main body.


I've had my wrapped around those thoughts for a
short time.

Maybe a year or so.

I like it.

I suppose it is comforting to think of it in
those terms.

However where I get stuck is when I think of
losing that unique filter of energy.

Each person filters energy in a different way.
Some do it so much nicer than others. Or
sometimes I take comfort in the familiarity of
the way a person close to me filters it.

I find such beauty in the forest.

I walk through it and feel at home.

It comforts me.

Yet I don't miss the fallen tree.

I appreciate it and take note how it's decay
helps the forest flourish.

It's energy passed on to it's immediate area
perhaps.

I don't see it the same way with a loved one.

Eventhough when I reflect on it, it is very
possibly the same exact thing happens.

I miss that creature. It hurts not being able
to see, feel, and hear them.

This is the part that I find so difficult.
The part that sucks.
The reason it isn't easy for me to say it was a
good day to die.

If a tree falls in the woods, does it's neighbors
miss being with it?

<i had a feeling too. it's why i left
work in the middle of the day and went
to her house.

after she died i stepped out on the patio alone.
it was a hot and windless august afternoon.
a soft transient breeze visited and cooled me
gently... it pinged the wind chimes ever so softly.
the leaves on the trees became one millionth
of one percent greener... the sky, an equal
amount bluer. the edges of the cumulus clouds
building over the sandias sharpened and became
more defined.

the energy that had for so long flowed through
her was moving back into the main body.

I've been thinking about what you wrote - shared it with a few friends....it's really something extraordinary. You should get it published, or send it to James Taylor..or something. It's such a beautiful tribute...just a thought.
