Celebrating Those Embarking on the Next Journey

While conventional wisdom often paints death as an ultimate end, my perspective takes a brighter hue, allowing me to see it as a mere bend in life's intricate labyrinth. Picture a realm where tranquility dances with elation, where souls are intertwined like threads in a cosmic tapestry, each connection a story waiting to be told. May the mystique of this eternal cycle and the profound connections that bind us all infuse our existence with boundless adventure and enduring joy.

To my cherished ones, whose stories have intertwined with mine through a tapestry of challenges and triumphs, my heart overflows with gratitude and love. And to those whose stories I've discovered through narratives and meticulous research, each connection is a testament to their struggles, achievements, and aspirations, crafting a legacy that echoes in our values, traditions, and perspectives.

In the words of Mary Oliver:
"When death comes like the hungry bear in autumn; I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering: what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness? And therefore I look upon everything as a brotherhood and a sisterhood, and I look upon time as no more than an idea, and I consider eternity as another possibility, and I think of each life as a flower, as common as a field daisy, and as singular, and each body a lion of courage, and something precious to the earth. When it's over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms. When it's over, I don't want to wonder if I have made of my life something particular and real. I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument. I don't want to end up simply having visited this world."
