It's too soon, but I wouldn't want her to linger that way. love to everyone.

I wish I had something to say. Words fail me even in the best of times.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
It has been a blessing both to know her and to get to say farewell, and a privilege, as Kate P says, to be allowed to witness this part of your lives.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Caring for both my mom and my dad at the end felt so natural and easy. It really felt like I was caring for my own kids.
Which is nature’s nurturing instinct and part of what makes us human.
I want JZ to be at rest.

It has always felt like this to me, when caring for both relatives and friends. It is a natural process of life. Hard, of course, but resisting it just makes it such a painful burden.
I'm grateful for every motion of matter, every wave of energy, every placement of particles over time that created the universe where JZ is so well loved and cared for at the end of her beautiful journey.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I got a lovely note from Ellen S., long missed Buffista, today. I'd been thinking about her as I saw pix of her with JZ and Ed, and Teppy and Flea.
She said: "You have both added so much to my world - Jacqueline's style and 'moral elegance' (? not sure how to put it - I have always admired the bone-deep balanced decency of your interactions with others) and David's community-building are things I have always really appreciated. You both mean a great deal to this random person, and I'm sure to many more people than the many you already know of."
I have been trying to think of a way to phrase Jacqueline's particular manner of lived-ethics. How it is an extension of her faith, and acted upon in her politics. "Moral Elegance" - there you go.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I managed to refrain from replying, "You know, part of your legacy as a Buffista is that when I think of the word 'cocksicle' I think of you!"
