Dear Susan,

I miss our late night phone calls, talking about everything from our different faiths to why butches are so darn great. Always you had a listening ear, a terrific sense of humor, and deep insight.

Thank you for singing to me, for the CD’s you sent and for introducing me to Hildegard of Bingen. Thank you for your prayers that night when it felt like my world was falling apart. They strengthened me and blessed me.

It broke my heart that you made your passage before I could get my disability and fly out to see you. I was so looking forward to standing on tiptoe to get your “sturdy peasant hug”, as you put it. What brought me comfort was hearing from your daughter that you were wearing your Yule gift, the green nightgown, when you crossed over. Even though I couldn’t be there in person, a part of me was.

You inspired me so much. I look forward to seeing you again.

I love you,
Hallie Anne

For Susan

I celebrate
the vibrancy of your life.

Your spirit continues,
Illuminating the path
you walk now.
Your companions
a song, bountiful grace,
a bright cloth satchel
brimming with honor,
bushels of radiant laughter
and the well-guided
spirits of your children.

I celebrate
your stunning eyes.

Gems intently focused
on chunks and fragments
of the good in all of us.
You celebrated and invited
all ideas.

I celebrate
your brilliant voice.

One that could
bring down a mountain
with its force
and clarity.
Yet, gently quiet
a child’s storm.

I celebrate
your defiant wit.

Enabling you
to grasp the absurd
and throw it
to the wind.
Again emerging,
finding humor
in yourself.

I celebrate you,
Susan.

Thanks Kevan, got it. These things appear occasionally, through a hole in the software that WordPress has yet to identify or fix. Hopefully it will be resolved quickly. Meanwhile, I'll keep combing my posts for spam insertions.

There is a hidden advertisement in this post.
It is in a “noscript” element right after the text “In 1992″

May the Goddess guard her. May she find her way to the Summerlands. May her friends and family and her circle know peace.

Wow thanks for this post, I had never connected those lyrics to the witchhunts but since you mentioned that it makes sense and such a powerful statement. This song has always moved me since I first heard it too.. may she return on the North Wind as the song says..
