My Sister in Law died Saturday.

13. I cannot take credit for the Requiem.

It comes from a pagan Book of Shadows. I have always especially liked it for anyone who self IDs as Christian. There is another that I love for pagan folk:

BLESSING OF THE DEAD


Be free, be strong, be proud of who you have been, know that you will be mourned and missed, that no one can replace you, that you have loved and are beloved.

Move beyond form, flowing like water, feeding on sunlight and moonlight, radiant as the stars in the night sky. Pass the gates, enter the dark without fear, retuning to the womb of life to steep in the cauldron of rebirth. Rest, heal, grow young again. Be blessed.





I'd be nice if I did not need either of these for some time to come. I am getting tired of knowing so many dead people.
