" When the cloud
is no longer in the sky,
it hasn't died. -
" The cloud is continued
in other forms
like rain or snow
or ice. -
" Our nature is the nature of
no birth and no death.
It is impossible for a cloud
to pass from being into
non-being. -
And that is true
with a beloved person.
They have not died.
They have continued
in many new forms
and recognize them
in you
and around you. "

This is so interesting. When we were in Illinois, a very good friend of ours (anthropology professor at Northwestern) who actually was in a seminary in his younger days and converted to Buddhism recently gave us a book written by Thich-Nhat-Hanh.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your book, Aloha, Where You Like Go? Auntie Na is so Buddhist and so like every other religion's positive side. My daughter's name is also Nalani.
I love Kimo. I'd like Kimo to keep my son company also and protect him too. I'm thinking you yourself have led a very colorful, wonderful life, Cloudia.
