Kirstin died a few minutes before 8 p.m. After a day of many of us singing to her, she is now singing with the angels. Rest in peace, my little one.And the angels sang thee to thy rest, dear Kirstin.
From Kirstin at Barefoot and Laughing:
And this will be the psalm at my memorial:Also from Kirstin's blog: The Indigo Girls - "The Wood Song"
The Rev. Virginia Going, “Today”
Let me live today.
Let me be open to the miracle of this day.
Let me breathe the best of today.
Let me not miss the heart of today.
Let me find the gift of today,
hidden like a jewel in rubble of care, duty, and detail.
Let me pause to hear
the steady beat of the heart of God—
hoping, aching, sorrowing, expectant, patient,
despairing heart of God.
Listen, listen.
Do you hear it?
Ever so faint but steady, steady,
rhythmic organ, strong muscle,
thumping, beating, pumping, sustaining, encompassing,
wildly dancing heart of God.
Let me live this day, aware, open, listening, breathing, alive.
I send prayers, love and blessings to all who cared for Kirstin, especially to an angel named Andee.
May God give comfort, consolation and the peace that passes understanding to keep the minds and hearts of all who love Kirstin.
