For Zuly
Zuly,
Thank you for the connection. In your final hours, as I meditated/prayed for you, you sent me that message telling me you were aware of what was happening and that you did not fear it. You know it as I strive to know it. How do I explain this? You, who I hardly knew in life, who I know as a soul, as pure being. Your life in the body of the one we know as Zuly has come to end. But there are no ends. You may have passed away from us, but for you it is a passing on. You have served your purpose as Zuly here, a grander purpose in this universe than we can dream of. Now you must move on to whatever awaits you. Zuly, those of us still locked into this perception of the world, we shall miss you. The ones you called family, the ones you called friends, they are saddened and angry and hurt. But Zuly, I know you are at peace and that you are sending your love to all of us. My words are a poor substitute for what I feel, what I sense, what I intuit, what I know without grasping at the thought. Zuly, I wish you could have experienced life, the evolution of it, the rising and falling and cycling and changing... But the end is the same for us all. And perhaps it is the brevity of your life that serves the greatest purpose of all. Zuly, you burn bright, and I have seen and felt your light across what seems a great distance. Your life had no chance to dull, shone golden as a moment, glittering and shimmering like light upon the water. May you continue in this light, Zuly, steadfast as a star.
