[Dialogue] JAY'S COMPLETED LIFE

[Sunny Walker]

David, Lin, Jo and all the family whom I do not know,

I imagine a Bodhisattva is a special gift on return to Heaven. May all of
you in the family (and anyone else for that matter) continue to dance to
life on earth as your Jay now dances in Spirit.

Love and Blessings,
Sunny

> Jay Zahrt Freed, Bodhisattva
>
> It is with tears and laughter, sorrow and joy that Jay's family
> acknowledges the end of his earth-bound presence. As we gathered in
> the Iowa farmhouse in which he died we cradled his ashes in our arms.
> We remembered his too brief existence, and searched for the words to
> say goodbye to the man we love so much.
>
> Jay, as we send you on your journey, we urge you not to stop in the
> dark places, but to spread your love as you travel your path. Many
> lives were touched by your gentle, caring spirit, and we defined so
> much of ourselves by our relationship with you. Your curiosity,
> ingenuity and creativity awed us. Your core beliefs included a
> reverence for the environment and a quest for peace. On the other
> hand, your cynicism could ruffle our feathers.
>
> You despaired when we were in pain and yet you knew how to celebrate
> our joyful moments. You may not have recognized how you buoyed us
> through rough waters all these years, and we no longer feel fully
> ourselves without you. As we each return to our day-to-day lives, we
> remember your integrity and your chosen purpose on this earth-to
> reduce suffering. We carry forth your intention of lovingkindness
> into the world, with you in our hearts.
>
> We love you.
