In Memory . . .

"Profoundly sensitive, brilliant, wise beyond his years, a budding author and scientist, and forever alive in my heart"
(by his Mom)

When a child dies, all one can do is support the family.. send them good vibes, prayers to heal the hole now in their hearts, energies to sustain them..
My dear chosen sister, Nu`riah (who painted the Henna art on my frame drum), lost her young son to bacterial meningitis Monday morning.
Please hold the family in your hearts and souls; pray for them to gain understanding of this tragedy.
Just hold them close.
We all thank you.. the wagons have been circled to protect and comfort them.
The words below, written by Tim Rice & music by Elton John, somehow were all I could think of...

"Circle Of Life"

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give

In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars

There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
