I am planning on attending the funeral of someone very important to me, someone who opened my eyes to the reality of magic, and the infinite pathways to power of the human soul: someone whose very life was a testimony to a life lived according to spirit, someone who truly was a modern day alchemist, able to turn dark into light; grief into joy; confusion into clarity. and to allow silence to find its voice and speak its truth.
David Grove, my friend, through you your Maori ancestors spoke, and shared their wisdom, compassion and insight into the difficulties of living on this material plane. It is only fitting, therefore, that you leave this plane to join them in a manner that reflects the sacredness of your worldly contribution in dispelling fear, awakening joy, and encouraging compassion, humility, elegance and laughter everywhere you went.
In a separate thread I have posted an explanation of a Maori funeral ceremony which in its richness show how our own funerary rituals reveal how disconnected and alienated we have become from our natural environment and from our own communities, both present and historical.
