Want

Right now I am in a very happy place in life.

I have a great family, a set university plan, a place to live in Vancity,
wonderful friends, a fantastic guy, and many other things that contribute
to my positive well-being at this very moment.

A found a poem that I think you would enjoy, it's about letting go,
essentially, of somebody who has passed. It's quite beautiful.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

-Mary Elizabeth Frye
