two   long time people    in my life died last night.      I think i would like to die at Equinox.   would like to Slip Through then.

to me,  the tender most moment of a year.  Fall Equinox.

    I send you hugs of compassion, sympathy, and love – glad that I can do so virtually, although I would much rather do so in person. One of my sisters died yesterday ~ returned her stardust to the universe. We said our howdies and goodbyes, when she entered hospice a few weeks ago. She was much younger than I am, startling to consider.
    Fall seems to always been the kindest and most gentle season of year for me, and favorite. Fall Equinox, and a gentle time to Slip Through ~ thank you for these thoughts, as I hadn’t considered them in this way.
    Your stitched blocks comfort me, sensuous and rich with light and color spectrums ~ the full gamut of the textures of living and loving… Thee I love, Grace-o-the-Hill.
    Blessings, comfort, joy, peace, and good health to all who gather here.

    Fall wraps its arms around us, ushering us into a softer, cooler season, a season filled with transition; the changing colors of the leaves, the harvesting of gardens and fields, the approaching quiet as the land gets ready for the still of winter. Wrapping you up in a gentle hug as you mourn the passing of your friends. My heart grieves for you on the loss of your friends and I send you condolences and my love.

    two in the same night?
    we will witness so many changes, the longer we live.
    I remember having this conversation with mom when she turned to me and said
    all my friends are dead.

    so poignant, slipping through and the arrival of fall… I think I will start to use the word “tendermost”. Sending love to you.

    they were old. one 88 one in her 90s. They were Good
    and Happy people that shared that with everyone they touched.
    It’s always that you can’t speak with them, just that

    Grace~ I send you deep love at this time. My words are weak today, for I got a phone call last night from a very dear friend, 9 years my senior. Something is wrong that she wasn’t quite ready to share, but just wanted to hear my voice. How much meaning that holds. I agree with Jude, we will see more and more, things hard to bear witness to.
    Love to you in this moment.
