When I lost my father, I was told a story about the Vikings and their acceptance of Christianity. They merged their older beliefs with the new. The soul, to them, was like a great, white sea gull, flying free through the night sky. Quite by accident, it flies into the window of a mead hall where a feast is taking place. It flies hither and yon, resting on a ceiling beam when it can, taking flight when the Vikings roar with laughter or hurl an empty flagon of mead at it.

This is life.

Then, again quite by accident, the bird finds another window and flies back out into the night sky - free.

This is death.

I never think of my father as gone; I think of him as free. That thought is what finally brought me peace. Like the tall ship that slips over the horizon, he's not gone, he's just someplace else.

My condolences and prayers go out for ye,

Blackbead

[Silkie McDonough]

Again thank you all ...hearing from you is more helpful than I would have thought.

I have a theory, this can apply to even those who do not believe in God. We are energy. Energy is neither created or destroyed. That energy continues on.

Again, thank you all so very much.

Sending warm thoughts, an understanding shoulder to lean against and a soft , sea born wind to wrap you in it's comfort.

The transitions of loved ones are always the sad times... but when we catch up with them at a later date.... the stories you'll all have to share will have been worth the wait!

Much huggage lass and candles to honor and light the way.

[Red-Handed Jill]

It's tough to care about someone so much that their leaving pains you so, but so wonderful that such a worthy person existed in the first place.

Sending good thoughts your way, Silkie!

[Black Syren]
