A new take

Dan and I attended a funeral today. I've had a couple of close family members pass, but neither of which did I have the honor of attending, so today is officially my first.

There are no words that can possibly illustrate the essence of spirituality from the Buddhist rituals during the three-hour service. It was emotional. It was empowering. It was calming. It brought me closer to my old friends. It brought me closer to my current friends. It brought me closer go my family. It brought me closer to Dan. But more importantly, it brought me closer to compassion.

Thank you for sacrificing existence on earth in order go give us valuable lessons. You will always be remembered.
