My friend Donia Carey's son Seth passed away Friday. If you'd like to know more about Seth and ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), click this link and read one of Seth's essays. This particular one was broadcast on NPR. http://www.wgbh.org/cainan/article?item_id=1826538
For Seth and Donia
Some spirits transcend restraints,
Choosing to experience life
According to their own terms.
They innately understand
The freedom offered here --
Freedom to think independently,
To make a difference,
To love fully, to live fully.
These spirits accept the Truth
And expand their boundaries,
Living life to its fullest extent.
While others mourn limitations,
These special ones embrace
The wider margins of experience
And love with all their hearts.
Today I celebrate your life, Seth,
And wish you Godspeed on your
Journey to the next dispensation.
Thank you for sharing your life
With me, and thank you, Donia,
For introducing me to the
Special spirit of your son Seth.
