Summer has asked that we use her blog to communicate with all of you as she is no longer to do so for herself. Her medications are working to keep her without pain, distress or discomfort. Her heart rate is elevated and her blood pressure is low. She has very few moments where she is awake or alert, although she seems to manage to find at least one way to teach us something every day! We have been reading e-mails and messages to her so she knows that people are thinking of her, but responding is no longer possible.
A commitment was made to try to keep her at home throughout her transition. With the help of the hospice team, her husband, son and close friends who have been helping with her care around the clock, that promise has been able to be kept thus far.
We will continue to update you as we can.
Oh dear. Tell her I love her. It's Maggie.
ReplyDeleteSummer, thank your for teaching me to laugh more, smile more, dance more, and live in my potential as my authentic self.I still learn from you, mainly from snapshots in my head of your smile when I have a good sweat going during class with you and you intrinsically guide me smile with your loving support. If I don't see you again in the physical, we will reunite in the astral worlds. Infinite Love and Gratitude, Jack Greene

ReplyDeleteWordless Mysteries
ReplyDeleteHear from the heart wordless mysteries! Understand what cannot be understood!
In Summer's bliss filled heart there burns a fire
That burns all veils to their root and foundation.
...When the veils are burned away, the heart will understand completely
Ancient Love will unfold ever-fresh forms
In the heart of the Spirit, in the core of the heart.
- Rumi
Loving you,
Shanti Shanti Shanti!

You are an inspiration to anyone who comes within miles of you. You illuminate the dark corners of my mind. You give me words when I have none. Your Spirit Dance Class will forever lay in my heart as the dancer who will never die. I am with you always as you are with all of us, always. Your infinite wisdom has showered many with power and promise. I am blessed to have known you. I was 15 when I met you and now I'm 29...14 years of sheer bliss. God bless you Summer for this is your season take it and keep it always.
