I Love Funerals

I Love Funerals.  So yes, I got caught up in the pomp and circumstance and the eulogies at President 41 Bush’s funeral in Washington DC this week.

At death, everything comes down a few notches. We can be more real in the moment.

I always feel like I can sigh fully and comfortably when sitting in a pew in a church, temple, synagogue at funerals. Ahhhh…..

Eulogies

A lot is said in the eulogies.

Jon Meacham (historian) said yesterday in his Bush eulogy:

“He was a Loving Man with a Big Vibrant heart. He made our lives freer, warmer, better, and nobler. That was his mission, that was his heartbeat. And if we listen closely enough,  we can hear that heartbeat even now. It was the heartbeat of a Lion, who not only led us, but loved us.”

Can’t you still hear and feel the heartbeats of those who have died in your life?

Former Wyoming Senator Al Simpson said in his Bush eulogy:

“We mourn his loss from our own lives.  But we can retain his memory in our hearts. We give him up to your loving hands. Thank you for him.”

I thank the universe for many who have passed in my life.
