The circle of life
I’m not going to be around much for a day or two. I should be able to check for rumors two or three times a day and report if I find any, but that is likely to be all I have time for.
A very dear man died and our family will be leaving town to attend the funeral.
This man taught me, as a small child, how to sit quietly in the woods until deer and other wildlife came very close to us.
As a young adult he taught me how to give my grief to the forest. How to walk in the woods and let nature heal my soul. And he taught this to me through actions, with very few words being spoken. He just walked beside me, and sat with me when we stopped.
So I will say my goodbyes and pay my respects to him, and wish him well on his next great adventure.
