the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

Thought I would share some things going on,

had a death in the family.
As always in most cases it was very unexpected...

very important to have ones affairs in order, very confusing for those left behind when it's not..

Hope everyone takes time to consider something we all will pass through...Death, silent friend waiting..
if not for ones self, for others left behind who will have to deal with the process...

Kind regards to all...

Sorry for your loss. Condolences.

Estate planning can be expensive but highly recommended for clear legal/financial instructions/logic for the survivors.

deepest condolences.

I'm sorry, windy. be well.

Sincerest condolences. It must be especially hard this time of year.

Deepest heartfelt sympathy

My prayers and condolences go out to you and your family. May his memory be eternal.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

thank all for your thoughts, our families loss...
we walk the same road.....
meet you when when I get there...

My sincere condolences. Take care of yourself and be well.

I hope you find this as comforting (really found John O'Donohue's insights soothing to the heart) as I have in the loss of my own family members and friends:

On the Death of the Beloved - John O'Donohue, Jackson Berkey
Feb 23, 2011

I would recommend O'Donohue's entire poem (by the same name) to you.
It's excellent but too long for a video.
The quake and tsunami in Japan happened not long after I made this. I hope perhaps this can be of some solace to the people of Japan who've lost loved ones.
This is my third piece using the music of Jackson Berkey, of whom I'm a great fan. http://www.berkey.com/

Thanks for watching.
