The news came this morning that my friend has crossed to the other side of the veil. Life is a powerful force, and his body was no longer able to contain it. Life needed to break free into eternity.
I once saw death as a diminishment, but in him I see it as it is, the point when the soul moves into its fullness, discards the body and enters freedom, sailing like an eagle in the boundless sky that is God.
May the angels lead you into paradise, sweet friend.
"Home," a Natalie Grant song, seemed appropriate this morning:
"You're home, where secrets are told, see a new world unfolding,
where hearts are one, the pain's undone, and you're finally belonging, yeah,
and you need to know, you need to know, you're home.
"So take your coat off and stay awhile,
what made you cry can make you smile again;
you can hold your head up high
'cause don't you know that you you were born to fly
"Welcome home; everything's gonna be alright, 'cause you're home,
feel the sun, your day has come; you're not alone. You're home."
Blessings,
David
