On June 15, 2018, Mary Jane died around 5 in the morning
I was sure she would open her eyes
I cry
I am so grateful for her regal presence in my life
For the enormous gifts:
LAUNCHING MANO into the world
By writing the Council of Gnomes Blog
LAUNCHING me into the world
By beautifully compiling and editing my book
Living with the Spirits of the Land
Mary Jane left around 5:00 in the morning
My Books arrived from the printer around 5:00 in the afternoon
I felt the call to go to the Amphitheater
I sat on a sheep skin in the middle of the Amphitheater and cried
The weather was misty and as water dripped on my face
I felt the trees were crying with me
I wrote these words:
It is raining – almost
The skies are crying
for Mary Jane’s crossing
Celebrating her life
And adding to my tears
of gratitude and appreciation
Her presence and willingness
have made my connection
between human and nature known
and hopefully will inspired others
to connect with nature on their own
In their own way
The way that is right for them
I will continue presenting the Blog Mary Jane, Mano, and I created.
Last April Mano suggested we review the early teachings.
I look forward to doing this as an easy way to get involved with sharing Mano’s teaching and my experiences with you.
Barbara, so sorry to hear of Mary Jane’s passing. Please let me know if there is any way I might help you continue with your blog. It is important work.
Many blessings in this new year, Bill
Thank you sharing your truest thoughts, feelings, and knowings.
Dear Barbara,
May you have a happy and healthy 2019!
Can we order your book through you?
Thank you for continuing to serve as a bridge from Mani’s Realm to ours.
I consider myself blessed to have met Mary Jane!
Peace and Joy.
