I have been searching for a proper poem for my best friend that is not expected to live much longer, through all of these emotions I am walking with this poem depicts the natural state of phenomena of peace and cause and effect. I will be reading this to her memorial. Thank you.

We as human beings tend to use words to conceptualize life as this or that when it is far more than that. We limit it when we attempt to make it a place for our human dramas and to make nature do our bidding in sketching out our interpretation of what life is and what it is not. It is far more than that. The world opens up in all of its uniqueness and is in every corner the mystery of life’s substance. It is not there to fulfill one’s ego’s trip. It is more than that. It is more than the breath and yet not less and all contained in the majesty of now....
