I only had a few brief moments to share with CJ and I would like to tell you about one of them. I had the honor of being in the company of CJ last Easter morning when we hiked to a mountaintop for a sunrise celebration. We were attending a dance weekend and only a very small group of us were crazy enough to wake up at 5am and brave the cold. We hiked mostly in silence on that cold dark morning and as we got closer to the top the sky began filling in with oranges and yellows. We formed a circle and shared thoughts and songs. CJ quoted Meister Eckhart....."If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough." I was shown the true essence of CJ that morning as I experienced "oneness" with her and with the entire planet. To me I saw her as a beacon of light in the darkness. I saw "God" in her. She was full of love, light, and joy and that is how I will always see her. I will hold her in my heart and she will live on. Love is Eternal!!Thank you CJ!!
