Hope
Thinking about Ellie and Dad today…kind of hard not to.
This song made me weep the first time I really listened to it. It is the conversation in my heart.
The music is the melancholy, deep sadness that one feels only when they have lost someone dear to them. In contrast, the words are the peaceful comfort that comes from knowing our eternal nature and destiny.
May all those who have lost someone find Peace today. I hope this helps.
Do not stand at my grave
and weep
I am not there
I do not sleepI am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rainWhen you wake in the morning hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight
I am the soft starlight at nightDo not stand at my grave
and weep
I am not there
I do not sleep-Mary Frye
That’s beautiful, Trenton. Thank you.
