to the other side

so it was that my father died hours after i arrived in michigan, at the age of 87...a week later I learned that my friend, Alexandra died in Athens, not even reaching 60 years old...a few days ago, I launched a Lantern at the Lantern Ritual at Forest Hills Cemetery here in Boston, with much love and soulful touching for them and the others that were departed souls and celebrated there at the Pond...a very special evening...
