" Death is an horizon and an horizon is but the limitation of our view".
"If I should go before the rest of you
Break not a flower nor inscribe a stone,
Nor when I'm gone speak in a Sunday voice
But be the usual selves that I have known.
Weep if you must
Parting is hell,
But life goes on
So sing as well"
Joyce Grenfell Author/Broadcaster 1910-79
"I love trees best in spring, when coiled buds
Thrust spears towards the sun; or in the fall,
When mottled leaves lie drowned in autumn floods;
Or during drowsy summer's blowsy sprawl;
Or dozing boughs,snow laden and at rest.
At all times, you might say - I love trees best!"
Felix Dennis - Tales from the Woods.
Deep peace of the running wave to you,
Deep peace of the flowing air to you,
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you,
Deep peace of the shining stars to you,
Deep peace of the son of peace to you.
Ancient Celtic prayer for Jim Farquhar died 26/5/2010.
