Beautiful people do not just happen.

We can only understand life backwards but it must be lived forwards. How are we to know then that, death is simply a shedding of the physical body, like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where we continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and be able to grow. To learn to get in touch with the silence within ourselves and know that everything in this life has a purpose.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. Just like you..you had appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills people with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
