It seems easy to die when such souls go before, Blessed it is to feel that they have indeed gone before to meet us in turn
when our own day is done. The Scotch have a proverb The eenin brings a' hame. so however separated far or near the evening
of life brings all together at the last. Lovely souls embalmed in a thousand flowers embalmed in the hearts of their friends,
never for a moment does death seem to have had anything to do with them. They seem near, are near, as if in bodily sight I
wave my hand to them in loving recognition. Ever yrs John Muir
