I saw a friend buried this week. Keith walked the walk. I will miss him.

Even when faced with mortality, Happiness (one's quest for Truth and Wisdom) cannot die along with the questions. In other words, one must continue to learn from the exoteric goodness left behind and not allow time to heal all wounds. Death is painful to those of us still learning. As time goes by the pain of a friend's death may subside, but in quiet moments one should remember, and laugh, and cry, and learn - and live.

The process of dying is, in actuality, a definition of Living; and Life is painful; (as it should be). Occasionally someone comes along and shows us how to go through this Life - this process of dying - with character, and strength, and nobility. When that happens we should pay attention, and hold onto the joy they have left behind, and embrace the pain inherent in the loss. In this manner, perhaps we too can Live this Life as it is meant to be Lived.

I will continue to Learn, and Hurt, and Hope, and Grow. Thank you Keith, for helping in this process. I will miss you.
