This body is not me. I am not caught in this body.
I never had the pleasure to get to know Sweetcali, or Mike, but I know that life is about transitions.
I believe there is peace to be found in embracing and celebrating our innate condition of impermanence. And so I offer only this:
No coming, no going
No after, no before
I hold you close to me
I release you to be so free
Because I am in you, and you are in me
Because I am in you, and you are in me
***
There are no real goodbyes
There are no real endings
Because I am in you
and you are in me
Peace to you both, and your family,
From me and mine.
