Two friends of mine have passed.

They died from injuries sustained in a house fire.

Their names were Jack and Matt. I knew them because we were in the same choir. They'd been a couple for a long time.

If you pray, or meditate, or just send good thoughts - I'd really appreciate that.

Peace to everyone.

Sending loving thoughts your way and to their circle of friends. Prayers and blessings for Jack and Matt, good and kind loving people , let them sing with the choirs of angels, of the Love and joy that creates universes.

I lost a long-term friend this week, too. I'm devastated, but I also feel strangely dissociated, which I guess is a grief coping mechanism.
