Dear friends. Thank you so much for your wonderful show of support on my last image "Forgive me Father." That image was made right from my heart and I was very moved by how it touched so many of you. Thank you for the many beautiful comments, faves, and even just for dropping in to have a look.
I follow up with "Saying Goodbye." It was hard to make an image to come even close to what I felt for "Forgive me Father" and I have no words to say that could come close to those that I wrote then, but hopefully they will be enough for both. I was trying too hard to make this image work, and after days of struggle I was almost ready to trash it. But then I just let go of my intentions, simplified the render, and let it be what it was telling me it wanted to be.
Letting go and saying goodbye; how often do we push these essential processes aside and live in denial of what has happened? But does it do us any good?... not for very long. Growth, and life itself, demands that we accept our losses. We grieve, we are miserable, but then we must move on.
What is lost to us now simply joins the never ending process of energy flow that permeates the universe. We materialize out of that energy flow for a while, live what we call life, die, and then we become part of the big cosmic flow again. It is not an end, nor a beginning, it just is.
---------------------------
I will be away on business for a week starting this Sunday and I will not be taking a laptop so I will be out of touch and not commenting but I will be thinking of you and I promise to try and catch up when I get back.
So I too say goodbye -for now- but unlike our fallen father heros - I will be back.
Blessed Be

Saying goodbye to a parent is an inevitable pain, but that does not make it any easier to bear. Often, as you mentioned in your previous work, the grief is accompanied by guilt, which only adds to the burden. Time helps to ease the burden, but can never erase it. I hope that the comforting energy of all your friends, both here at Rendo and elsewhere in your life, has helped you to cope. Let me now add mine to that stream. All the comments I made about the previous image also apply here. It is a very powerful and moving piece. Thank you for sharing these difficult moments with us.
