Thank you, Kat. Such a heart felt post that broke me open. My tears for my youngest brother mix with your and Chris'. Strange to me that your writing frees such profound sobs from deep within my chest. And, my tears sing the glory of my sweet brother. His life was devoted to bringing beauty into this world - Hand made glassware that sparkles on thousands of dining tables. Objects that gather, concentrate and reflect the Light in his life. It's been a few weeks since his passing. I've shed a few tears releasing him. Now, these new tears flood the quiet river valley of my life. Thank you for the magic I find in your words.

Ahh Chuck I'm sorry to hear about your brother's passing. I'm glad to know my sharing our grief can help yours flow too. I find grief has tendrils that connect us all together in that way.

Thanks Kat for your transmission of feeling. Like Chuck, I too am touched by the depth and knowingness of your feelings. Your dedication reminded me of the burials I have made for various sheep, dogs, cats and cows throughout the years. There is something about sharing our lives and feelings with animals; they so much love being loved, just as we too explore something of deep communication. timeless

Yes! They do seem to love been loved and attended to by us humans (most of them anyway!) A divine inter-species dance I delight in. Thank you for sharing Peter
