He Found Peace

He heard her song
as he sat lonely on the ground
Her footsteps moving gently
Through the trees

He could not see
But he could feel her
Dancing slow
In ever smaller circles
Around his lodge of twigs and leaves

He heard her thoughts
and felt both pain and sweetness
as she held and rocked him
while he once again became
the child he always was

And as she soothed him in her mother arms
And whispered words of comfort in his ear
He slipped away into that momentary dark
And left behind the sadness
That had burdened him so long
And placed his feet upon the road
That takes you to the place where dreams and spirits dwell.
And he found peace.

    Hi Murray,
    I hope this is a valid email for you and you will get it. I am now planning a trip to Ottawa for my investiture into the Order of Canada. The ceremony and other events surrounding it occur on Friday, May 12 so I am trying to determine if it is worthwhile for my wife and I to stay in Ottawa and connect with a few other people we know. We may come a day or two early and stay a day or two later if we can. Would you happen be available for a breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a coffee on any day around that time? Even a brief visit in your office might work.
    Let me know as we are trying to firm up our travel plans.
