Letter from Jen
Patty!!
So this is a first and I love it … words I send to you now so you can read and can easily be changed into a poem to be used on the website… You are changing a narrative and it is beautiful to be a part of it! A Different Story.
In death we feel Love.
We tell a different story in this episode of your life. A death that is not feared. Not to be shamed. In this story we embrace the transition of rebirth in love, laughter, hugs and tears.
Rest In Peace they say ? No, this vision doesn’t fit you. Rather a picture of celebration, infinite love, joy and even more impact than any human on earth can imagine.
Light not heavy. This time can be as beautiful as the colors of the sunset, dropping down in the distance. Set up every night on a far away Nebraska lake. Feeling the awesome wonder of who and what we really are.
In this story of your life each of us can recognize our own inadequacies, patterns, and big love. Selfish needs for comfort and desire to comfort by standing in the awareness of death. This is a new story. Honoring your life and commitment to die differently has helped me and countless others heal in uncomprehending ways. For life is a journey up to the point of death. All the questions no longer need answers. The motivations and the pursuit can be laid to rest. Acceptance in truth is the magic of life.
All that is left is love. Love hard. Needing nothing return. For now we can wholly share in the only present moment that every is. That is right now. The past memories remain. Called on by the mind when needing to dance in two step with the heart. Taken as medicine when a dose is needed.
The past memories remain. Called on by the mind when needing to dance in two step with the heart. Taken as medicine when a dose is needed.
The past memories remain. Called on by the mind when needing to dance in two step with the heart. Taken as medicine when a dose is needed. Now the unknown future can be a little quieter. For it is only just a whisper anyway. In love and in death this human life is experienced in totality. Yet never really fully knowing the depth that is infinite. We tell a different story of death.
Patty, you have told a different story from the moment you arrived, with a tied up, knotted umbilical cord and all! A story where you felt the jagged, sharp, razor edges of a pain the cuts so deep it was unfelt by others. Truly unseen by most. Hidden by your true heroic, bad ass, superhero , toughness.
Watching you hold a space the size of oceans , full of love for those who need it. Inspiring. Watching the inner activist fight for a suffering people who need a voice. Incredible.
This chapter in your story of life ends with an energized excitement for what is next. A holy, sacred, celebrated transition met with shiny lights of magic and mystical signs left all along the way.
These same signs were sprinkled in and throughout your life. The moments that led you to this place of loving capacity that has never left, yet not always remembered.
When asked of your legacy, you humbly respond. To Heal Thyself. Profoundly powerful in simplicity. True wisdom.
Your wise words and loving memories are left for all of us as contribution. You have made this planet a better place. And those so fortunate to cross physical paths with you will always feel you in the limitless place we love to go.
In love and gratitude to you.
I . love. you .
