A Celtic Epitaph

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there… I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow…
I am the diamond glints on snow…
I am the sunlight on ripened grain…
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight…
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there… I did not die…

    Thanks.

  3. Uplifting
    Poetry and music, two of the strongest proofs that God exists

  4. ce mare pacat ca romano-catolicismul a lichidat crestinismul celtic. the real one…

  5. Care crestinism celtic? Cei mai multi cercetatori sunt de parerere ca asa zisul ‘crestinism Celtic’ e o inventie moderna. O romantizare care de fapt nu a existat niciodata.

    • Draga Nelu,
      Cred ca acest ‘cei mai multi cercetatori’ este o veritabila hiperbola. Chestiunea se dezbate si n-a fost transata inca. Desigur, e dreptul tau sa te o plasezi de o partea si a noastra de celalta, dar sa nu exageram totusi.

  6. It`s really a very sensitive poem.
    It gave me such a great joy and positive energy.
    I think you are a very sensible man .
    Perhaps a ,,macho”,indeed,but a poet in fact.
    May God bless you and protect you!

  7. si e pacat sa reapara crestinismul celtic cam asa cum era?
    de ce?
    nu e pacat poate sa moara cel romano-catolic care l-a lichidat printr-un conciliu si impreuna cu puterea seculara.

  8. Danut, in cea mai mare parte ‘Celtic Christianity’ in manifestarea curenta (i.e. Iona, Northumbria, etc..) sunt inventii moderne. Nu exagerez cind fac aceste afirmatii Danut (am discutat subiectul cu un numar de oameni care au o oarecare expertiza in domeniu). Celtic Christianity au la baza ‘myths’ si nu dovezi istorice (and this is a fact). Vezi spre exemplu W. Davies’s ‘The Myth of the Celtic Church’. Cu toate astea nu vreau sa neg valoarea ‘spirituala’ a acestei manifestari.

    • Draga Nelu,
      Desigur, putem aduna, si unul si altul, titluri si nume, de o parte si de alta a acesti dispute. Diferenta dintre noi este ca tu crezi ca chestiunea este transata, in vreme ce eu cred ca verdictul definitiv n-a fost rostit inca. Pina cind chestiunea este transata in mod definitiv (ceea ce, cred eu, nu s-a realizat inca) alegem fiecare conform lecturilor, dar, mai ales, conform temperamentului si inclinatiilor noastre.

  9. De acord Danut!
