Celebration of Life for Wendy November 28, 2010

It was an honor and privilage to dance for a dear friend and great teacher ~ Wendy
Her life was devoted to service and many humanitarian causes. Her spirit was one of nurturing, inclusion and lifted so many of us up when we were down. She walked the walk of patience, spiritual devotion, and life practice of peace. I would not be here without her continued love, loyality and committment to our friendship these last 24 years. Knowing you has been an honor and one of the greatest blessings of my life.
 


The Sheikh ordered, "Bring drums
for my funeral, and tambourines and dancers.
Carry me into the street with laughter
and joy, so that everyone will see how
the people of God go to God and how
death is cause for song and celebration.
“This death is like lovers whispering."

Everyone obeyed this order, and there was
no hypocrisy in the delight that day.
                       ~ Rumi
