Reading about the tragedy that happened out in Selkirk, and reflecting the hard time I had after Devin's death, I was thinking about what would happen if suddenly my life was taken away. I realized that people would not have a clue what I wanted done with myself. The first thing, I want to be cremated, and returned to a source of water. I don't want to be put in a fancy urn, nor in a casket.. that's too much waste. I would like all of my friends and family to have a small celebration on this plateau across the way from my cabin, where the granite is flat (right by the tree my dad tried to cut as a kid). It would be nice to be at sunset. I would like my friends and family to have a fire in which they would have a bunch of memories written on a piece of paper, and they would throw it in to burn. I would want people to be there and sing and dance and remember me from dusk till the break of dawn. In the morning everyone would go down to the dock and watch the sun rise, and realize that I have returned to the earth, to the water, to the air that they breath, and that I am letting them know that I'm at peace with the most beautiful sunrise.
