Dying

Your vital energy is returning to the Source,
Like the flowing stream returning to the ocean.

Heaven is our Father, Earth is our Mother,
All people are our brothers and sisters,
and all things are our companions.

In this gentle, peaceful journey,
You are forming one body with heaven and earth.
Entrust yourself in the transforming and
nourishing care of the Cosmos.
Listen to the voice of love in silence.
Your have heard the Way;
Return home in Peace.

Tu Weiming, The Gift of Life
