Eulogy for Samori

 

If we put all the love

in all the world,

in all its creatures,

in all its children,

and its grown ups,

and all its animals,

birds, fish, dolphins, whales, puppies,

 

and all the rest of nature

including its trees

and its flowers,

 

and added to that

the love of

the whole universe including

whoever and whatever

is out there,

 

like the spirits,

the music,

the magic,

that we cannot see,

but sometimes feel,

 

and if we then took

that love potion

and included the love

of the small crowd of folks who knew you

and cared for you

on so deep a level.

 

If we took all that

love energy and

condensed it

into a fuel,

to power your journey

into the heavens,

 

If then, finally

we all took

one precious moment,

to breathe deeply,

and remember the Samori that so many of us knew in our own unique way

 

If we took that moment

all together

right now

we would know,

without the shadow,

of a doubt,

how with you, Samori

we are,

now,

and for eternity.
