What spring means to me

April 12, the weather changed to warmer temperatures. This year is different though.

Normally I would feel my heart gladden with rebirth of life on the planet, but this spring has been more solemn. The passing of my friend has sobered me. I had given my friend the name Makwa ikwe. She said she was bear totem. My friend was in my life for the briefest of time. She give me an important message, “Slow down.”

I have come through the long hard winter and this spring I came out of hibernation alone, but with a message to live by and I honor my friend by remembering.

Wrote in memory of Lanise Coats who came into my life to connect as Kindred Friend and we made the very most of it. Blessings. Celebration of Life, April 25, One Roof, 433 Broadway, Saratoga Springs, New York.

Five Wesley residents and staff were there to pay tribute to a gifted Ascended Spirit.
