Remembering...


Without death there is no appreciation for life.


We honor our classmates who can no longer be with us for the joy and happiness they brought into this world, their accomplishments, their unique beauty, their unful- filled aspirations, and most of all for the memories they left behind. God called them far too quickly; and thus, because we honor their memory, they will always be alive and are still here with us today.

Gestalt at Sixty


I am not ready to die,
But I am learning to trust death
As I have trusted life.
I am moving
Toward a new freedom
Born of detachment,
And a sweeter grace -
Learning to let go.

I am not ready to die.
But as I approach sixty
I turn my face toward the sea.
I shall go where tides replace time,
Where my world will open to a far horizon
Over the floating, never-still flux and change.
I shall go with the changes,
I shall look far out over golden grasses
And blue waters.
There are no farewells.

Praise God for His mercies,
For His austere demands,
For His light
And for His darkness.

--May Sarton
from Selected Poems of May Sarton
