No human, nor any living thing, survives long under the eternal sky. The most beautiful women, the most learned men, even Mohammed, who heard Allah's own voice, all did wither and die.
All is temporary.
The sky outlives everything.
Even suffering.
- Bowa Johar, Balti poet (form Three Cups of Tea, by Mortenson & Relin)
Last week, I shared about a teacher's final gift. The next day, Janet was gone from this earth. Today, friends & family gathered to share our memories and celebrate her life. She truly was a mountain of a woman and her spiritual generosity knew no bounds.
Her memorial service reflected her Buddhist faith and it was both moving and healing. I feel blessed to have been a part of it.
