:25:01
No!
:25:09
Aah!
:25:10
God help me.
:25:13
Oh, God...
:25:15
help me.
:25:22
""I am sunk
in the abysmal swamp
:25:25
where there is no foothold.
:25:27
I have reached
the watery depths.
:25:30
The flood overwhelms me.
:25:33
I am wearied with calling.''
:25:36
As we say farewell
to our friend Sam Wheat,
:25:39
we are reminded
of his kindness...
:25:43
his generosity,
:25:46
his buoyancy of spirit.
:25:49
All that we treasure--
:25:50
our loved ones,
:25:53
our friends,
:25:54
our body,
:25:56
our mind--
:25:59
are but on loan to us.
:26:01
We must
surrender them all.
:26:04
We are all travelers
on the same road,
:26:07
which leads
to the same end.
:26:13
As our loved one
enters eternal life,
:26:16
let us remember
that love, too, is eternal.
:26:21
That although
we will miss him,
:26:23
our love
will light the void
:26:25
and dispel the darkness.
