Let the Mystery Be

LET THE MYSTERY BE
Iris DeMent


Everybody is wonderin' what and where they all came from

Everybody is worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go

When the whole thing's done

But no one knows for certain, and so it's all the same to me

I think I'll just let the mystery be.


Some say once gone you're gone forever

And some say say you're gonna come back

Some say you rest in the arms of the Saviour

If in sinful ways you lack

Some say that they're comin' back in a garden

Bunch of carrots and little sweet peas

I think I'll just let the mystery be.



Some say they're goin' to a place called Glory

And I ain't sayin' it ain't a fact

But I've heard that I'm on the road to purgatory

And I don't like the sound of that

I believe in love and I live my life accordingly

But I choose to let the mystery be.



This is one of Kari's all time favorites.
I Love it too,especially this wonderful "cover" by Ms.Merchant and Mr. Byrne.

I am not Alone, Thanks to All

The Memorial gathering on Saturday could not have been improved on.(exempting maybe waking from a bad dream.)

The turn out was Amazing,
in case you didn't already know,

Kari is truly a Star.

I came away feeling Uplifted,and my Hope is that All who attended feel the same.

To Everyone-

Every single gesture of Kindness, has been Truly Appreciated by Me and My Family.Know That.

I feel I must avoid thanking anyone specifically on this space,as I fear leaving Anyone out.

I am really looking forward to the next gathering on Satuday,and hoping that any with any reservations about attending, will decide to attend.Personaly,Ive come to understand just how Important and Healing it Is to come together at a time like this.Ive got my fingers crossed about the weather.

I'm really Impressed by this technology that's grown up with us.I'm amazed at the comments Ive been getting at the newspaper where the obits were published.
Old friends...Amazing.How did you do it?Has the word spread at classmatesdotcom or something like it?
A little disappointed not so many comments here.I'm thinking It may be because they ask you to register first?
Kind of a drag.

If you would prefer to send me a private message,please use aikitom@gmail.com

Every Kind Word has been a like little Gem to me.Its more Meaningful than anyone could ever imagine,unless of course you've been close to tragedy Yourself.

It really does make a difference.

I Realize now that I have missed many an Opportunity to say...

Something

to a grieving Friend,because I was sad Myself,and afraid that i didn't know what to say.

Thanks to Kari and Thanks to the Brave and Commpassionate people I have been hearing from,I hope to be better at expressing myself from Now on.

So Thank You to Everyone for Everything.

This is a Very sad time but at the Very least,

We are Not alone.
