Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Namaste dear Richard my heart is still thinking about you and your dear wife this afternoon. .. . just a poem i wanted to share. . .may your day and week be gentle and good like you dear Richard. . . …May great courage accompany those willing to cross the River of Sorrow . May all who read these words be freed from the bondage of fear and denial. May our eyes remain open even in the face of tragedy. May we not become disheartened. May we find in the dissolution of our apathy and denial, the cup of the broken heart. May we discover the gift of the fire burning is the inner chamber of our being-burning great and bright enough to transform any poison. May we offer the power of our sorrow to the service of something greater than ourselves. May our guilt not rise up to form yet another defensive wall. May the suffering purify and not paralyze us. May we endure; may sorrow bond us and not separate us. May we realize the greatness of our sorrow and not run from its touch or Its flame. May clarity be our ally and wisdom our support. May our wrath be cleansing, cutting through the confusion of denial and greed. May we not be afraid to see or speak our truth. May the bleakness of the wasteland be dispelled. May the soul's journey be revealed and the true hunger fed. May we be forgiven for what we have forgotten and blessed with the remembrance of who we really are. - from The Box, by the Terma Company, 1992 , " Richard Eisenberg " <Pyaar333 wrote: > > I have not written of checked in in some time.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Rich, My deepest sympathy for your loss. I'm sure your father in law is in a place of peace. Hard times only makes us stronger and more knowledgeable. Take these lessons and embrace them. Just remember, they are only a small moment in time.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hi Rich, Much love to you and your family and all you've been through. I pray things at work turn around for you! May the sun shine down upon your family and the tide change, the air comfortable, beautiful breezes, a bit of peace, and some real joy! I wish I could wave a magic wand - I'd have all your co-workers and customers dancing around in their pj's to some really rockin' music... I've sent the request in to God - please let us know if he answers...much love to you and yours! You are in our prayers and best wishes!!!
