When Great Trees Fall
Maya Angelou
When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.
When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.
When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.
Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
 fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
 of
dark, cold
caves.
And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.

Karl, Kjerstin and Ingrid, I was so sad to hear this today. My heart is going out to you, and I am sending you love. I looked back at the photo of Axel that you texted me a year ago. I am sorry that I never met your sweet boy. Love, Abby Davis

Continuous prayers are with you at this difficult time. Axel was an amazing little man and we were blessed to have him in Johnathon and Kennedy's wedding and a big part of their special day. May the wonderful memories help you in the days ahead. Please know we are here for you and anything you need. Love, Angie and Roger Kruger
