Thinking of you Jim with love and admiration and feeling so inspired by all you accomplished in this life. Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees, going where the wind goes. Blooming like a red rose, breathing more freely. Ride our singin', I'll walk you in the morning sunshine. Sunshine, daydream. Sunshine, daydream. Walking in the sunshine.

The phrase "lion among men" from Samantabhadra's prayer keeps coming to mind when I think of you - I can't say more but you know I've got your back in this life or next and Maitripa will flourish with you as one of its first and brightest flames.
