Sensuous during life,
do not deny me in death!
Wash me with scent of apple blossom.
Anoint me with essence of lilac.
Fill my viens with honeysuckle nectar.
Sprinkle me with perfume of purple violets.
Envelop me in shroud saturated with fragrance of freshly
mown meadow hay.
Rest me in velvet earth.
Cover me with soil exuding flavor of maple and oak leaves.
Command a white birch to stand guard!

Holy Friday 2009
Please: If thoughts of ending your life cross your mind, know that there are other options to help you cope with your pain and suffering, whether it is physical, emotional or mental. You may feel alone, but you are not, you may feel isolated, but this feeling may not be the truth. You no doubt want to live and embrace life, but may be overwhelmed by pain, feelings of inadequacy and seeming emptiness.
Please do not act impulsively to harm yourself in any way. There are people who will listen and not judge. Talk to someone who can help you see and live into the truth of your wholeness as a human being. You are valuable and you can become who you are meant to be.
