Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings,
but contemplate their return.
Each separate being in the universe
returns to the common source.
Returning to the source is serenity.
If you don't realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
you can deal with whatever life brings you,
and when death comes, you are ready.

Hello Hestia,hestia wrote: I have sighed a do not resusate order it was the hardest thing I ever did. But He's suffered enough!! now I ask of you dear people the secont hardest thing thet i've ever done it's this. Please pray or wish Larry a peace full death. there's nothing else we can do.........
although we don't know each other I can clearly tell what a lovely person you are and what you have done above, although hard, is for sure the most loving thing you could do.
I send sincere wishes that Larry's passing over is peaceful and painless and that afterwards you are given the strength to continue to enjoy your own life.
You've many friends and 'family' on ACD ( particularly Gapies 4:20 rumblin' tum ! ) and certainly many others too who will be thinking of you.
This evening I'll light a candle and burn some incense for you both.

Re: Pray for us
this makes me indescribably sad on your behalf ..
Every time I try to write something I think will make sense / consolation, I become totally empty of words
so I will just send my thoughts and prayers

Re: Pray for us
Never met or spoke to you but reading this saddened me , thinkin of you at this time
heres a little poem for you
Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household world that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It it the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.

Hestia my prayers go out to ya and i hope larry be happy where he is now or will be ...
Saints of God, come to Larry aid!
Come to meet Larry, angels of the Lord!
Receive his soul and present Larry to God the Most High.
May Christ, Who called you, take you to Himself;
may angels lead you to Abraham's side.
Receive Larry soul and present him to God the Most High.
Give him eternal rest, O Lord,
and may Your light shine upon larry forever.
Receive Larry soul and present him to God the Most High.
Let us pray: We commend our brother sister, Larry to you, Lord.
Now that he has passed from this life,
may he live on in Your presence.
In Your mercy and love, forgive whatever sins Larry
may have committed through human weakness.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Re: Pray for us
So terribly sorry hestia, my love and thoughts are with you all xx
Re: Pray for us
My love is gone away
no more to hold so close
never to kiss or see agin
or to gaze into shinging blue eyes
No more to laugh or speak
nor to share the secrets of long time love
Fair thee well my life, my joy
my only heart.
Rest now, my beloved husband
My gentel giant is no more
no more to hold so close
never to kiss or see agin
or to gaze into shinging blue eyes
No more to laugh or speak
nor to share the secrets of long time love
Fair thee well my life, my joy
my only heart.
Rest now, my beloved husband
My gentel giant is no more

Re: Pray for us
Oh Hestia I'm sorry to hear your pain and I wish I could take some for you.
What a long strange trip it is.
