it is good to remember
an Indigenous prayer I love has me facing west
and feeling in myself the imminence of my setting,
and also the hope that my fading will be into a larger glory,
today we honor and celebrate the days of Friends
lost physically to our tomorrows,
but we hope not lost to our memory, to our love,
our community hopes to remember
and to learn to continue to let their presence
live in us and help us to be better
in the ways that they were better,
the future needs the past
to help us live the fullness of the present,
it is good to remember.
