May he rest in peace

I lost a buddy tonight... wasn't easy to say goodbye :-(
Made a few calls to friends, but know one was around to pick up.
So I had to face it alone...

Strangely, I saw reflections of my past... of my father and his last days.
I sat in that small room and desperately wanted to do some yoga...
Maybe a good handstand would help turn things upside down, bring blood to my brain and eleviate some of my misery.
But I could only sit there quietly and listen for something...

I'm not afraid to cry...
Rather let it flow then hold back... tough guys are those that are honest I think.
Those that admit we have emotions and dealing with them is better than ignoring...
Isn't that what I'm always reminding students during asana practice!?!!

So I say farewell friend... no regrets.
I vote that God enhances your next "adventure" and I am grateful for the times we shared.
I am reminded again to never take things for granted and to do my best.
I will learn to do it NOW and not wait for "tomorrow".
I choose to have my memories be those filled with laughter and love :-)
R.I.P.
