Saying Goodbye...

Saying Goodbye…

As a flower blooms, we are blessed enough to enjoy the beauty and solitude of each peddle it shares with us. As all living beings, here on Mother Earth, each must take its first breath and also take its last. The endless cycle continues bring joy and sorrow, mixed within ourselves. Deeper within that mixture, the acceptance of knowing your fate, your own demise, your time to relinquish your own shell, is forthcoming in such a spiritually way, that only few will ever understand.

To my beloved friends, who I have known over the years, I say these simple thoughts to guide you when you are no longer able to see the light… Remember who you are, no matter what tragedy faces you, pull your strength from within and stand strong on your beliefs. Don’t allow yourself to build walls, for in the long run, all these walls can do is damage who you are. Do not allow yourself to take personal attacks from others who can not see themselves for who they truly are. Find comfort in each others compassions, believes and memories for this is what keeps a person alive.

To my closest friends, I say thank you for sharing your thoughts, your beliefs and your strengths with me. Collectively they brought me great joy and the ability to see that no matter if people agree or disagree, we ultimately have one goal in life, and that is to make a change for the better, for future generations. You all truly have been like brothers and sisters to me and my heart is with you all, always.

For today, I am that flower whose time has come, grown and now must pass. In great sorrow comes a beauty of remembrance and solitude knowing that a persons memories will live on with others. I do not sit here today, saying good bye to you all, but saying a greetings of hello, for our paths will meet again one day.

Writers note: This was originally posted a few weeks ago on this blogger without a writers note attached. I pulled it off the site due to personal conflicts from the readers. Since I have always been an advocate about the ability to express both the beautiful and dark sides of life, I feel the need to repost this with a writers note attached.

Please read this carefully for what you read from word to word is not the over all appearance of this piece. And for those who have read my material over the years, know I write things with hidden meanings attached. This is in no way my eulogy, however, now that a few of you brought that to my attention, I could see these words being said once I kick the bucket. I will not explain this piece to you, I will let you read it for what it is, and let you come to your on conclusion, but let me just say, some times in life, you have to say good bye to people, things and feelings in your life before moving forward or accepting a direction that life takes you.
