Condolences

Condolence From: Lorelei Kraft
Condolence: What is dying?

I am standing on the seashore.
A ship sails in the morning breeze and starts for the ocean.
She is an object of beauty and I stand watching her till at last she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says: "She is gone."
Gone where?
Gone from my sight, that is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spars as she was when I saw her, and just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination.
The diminished size and loss of sight is in me, not in her, and just at the moment when someone at my side says,
"She is gone!"
There are others watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout:
"Here she comes!"
And that is dying.

Our sympathy,
Lorelei, Keith and Kirsten
