GRANDFATHER NARDS...SAYS HELLO AND FAREWELL

Since I couldn't come home on August 30th, 2010
and attend my grandfather's funeral personally
I decided to offer my prayers and meditations in an open field.
Remembering the traditions of honouring our ancestors,
And also to say my personal goodbye to my Lolo (Grandfather) -
I sat on a grassy field over-looking the city 
that have blessed me much with her wisdom.


Moments like this...meditate...yoga...clear the mind...just breathe....



GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN 
 
When I stare out at the wide expanse of space above me
...and the city below....that wonderful things happen....
Yellow butterflies fly around....
Monarchs play with the dandelions...
Dragonflies chase each other in mid-air....


I watched the clouds dance with the sun....
the interplay of light and dark....
the city below...Toronto the good...
light rays and beams shining down this magical place of Gathering...
In this moment...I saw the face of my grandfather in my mind....
He was telling me...Look Above, Child....

In physical form I may no longer exist...
But yet Spirit lives on to be One with the Creator
From nothing came out something....
Yin-yang....life, death and rebirth...
Somewhere a baby is born...new growth
The cycle is complete.....celebrate life 
And walk in love, peace and compassion...
