Goodbye Dear Heath
Kerry:
Thank you for providing this quiet sanctuary, David.
I thought I was getting my act together at last. But then I came here and read the beautiful messages and I'm a weepy mess again. But that's OK. I need to grieve right now.
This is the message I posted over at the Grieving Thread. It was written by Kahlil Gibran. The final line, "And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance," is inscribed on my dear mother's grave:
"For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink form the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance."
Farewell, darling Heath.
Safe journey home, precious one.

I am not a religious person, but this always gives me some peace when I am grieving.......
Rest in peace dear Heath.....age shall not weary him, nor the years condemn......
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

I haven't posted in quite a while but the news of Heath Leger's real death hit me in a way that Jack's death hit me in the movie. Heath Ledger was a great person and great actor and the world will be smaller place with his departure but heaven will be a better place.
I thought when I saw Brokeback Mountain for the first time and was finally able to think rationally again that it was like a Greek tragedy but the world was better off because of the movie and its message. Heath played a tragic and sad part in the movie and now his candle has burned out in real life long before it should have. What a horrible loss for those of us who admired and loved Heath as an actor.
David thank you for starting this thread and your original post in this thread was beautiful.
