From the final movement of Symphony No. 2 by Gustav Mahler, the Resurrection:

Aufersteh'n, ja aufersteh'n
Wirst du, Mein Staub,
Nach kurzer Ruh'!
Unsterblich Leben! Unsterblich Leben
wird der dich rief dir geben!
Wieder aufzublüh'n wirst du gesät!
Der Herr der Ernte geht
und sammelt Garben
uns ein, die starben!
O glaube, mein Herz, o glaube:
Es geht dir nichts verloren!
Dein ist, ja dein, was du gesehnt!
Dein, was du geliebt,
Was du gestritten!
O glaube
Du wardst nicht umsonst geboren!
Hast nicht umsonst gelebt, gelitten!
Was entstanden ist
Das muß vergehen!
Was vergangen, auferstehen!
Hör' auf zu beben!
Bereite dich zu leben!
O Schmerz! Du Alldurchdringer!
Dir bin ich entrungen!
O Tod! Du Allbezwinger!
Nun bist du bezwungen!
Mit Flügeln, die ich mir errungen,
In heißem Liebesstreben,
Werd'ich entschweben
Zum Licht, zu dem kein Aug'gedrungen!
Mit Flügeln,die ich mir errungen
Werde ich entschweben.
Sterben werd'ich, um zu leben!
Aufersteh'n, ja aufersteh'n
wirst du, mein Herz, in einem Nu!
Was du geschlagen
zu Gott wird es dich tragen!


Rise again, yes, rise again,
Will you My dust,
After a brief rest!
Immortal life! Immortal life
Will He who called you, give you.
To bloom again were you created!
The Lord of the harvest goes
And gathers in, like sheaves,
Us together, who die.
O believe, my heart, O believe:
Nothing to you is lost!
Yours is, yes yours, is what you desired
Yours, what you have loved
What you have fought for!
O believe,
You were not born for nothing!
Have not for nothing, lived, suffered!
What was created
Must perish,
What perished, rise again!
Cease from trembling!
Prepare yourself to live!
O Pain, You piercer of all things,
From you, I have been wrested!
O Death, You masterer of all things,
Now, are you conquered!
With wings which I have won me,
In love’s fierce striving,
I shall soar upwards
To the light which no eye has penetrated!
Its wing that I won is expanded,
and I fly up.
Die shall I in order to live.
Rise again, yes, rise again,
Will you, my heart, in an instant!
That for which you suffered,
To God will it lead you.

Requiescas in pace, carissima Jackie.

I just miss her so much.  HOW can she not be here?   :(

Thanks, Jack! As you surely know, that was at Linda's place, and she's holding the horse that Ennis was carving in the tent in the rain while Jack was up with the sheep.

Hi to both of you!   I pop in now and then to check up on things here.  It's nice to know I can join with others who understand.

well, I don't understand.  It is at times like these that I have more questions than answers. :(

she was just such a nice person.

I'm not given to poetry and pictures--hell, don't know HOW to vreate online pictures! But those who have done so have really done a nice job.

I like the idea of an avatar here. Especialy since all that I'd had on here was zapped when I quit the forum lol.

A few more shots I found.....from Bay City.  The last one was 5 minutes after I'd met her for the first time.  Glad to have found this one.

Heidi, I'll call later---but I believe people have their time. When that's done, it's done. Her last years were really happy, don't forget that. She found all of us. We found her.

Think on what her life would have been like without BBM, and what it was after she found it. She had  a purpose and happiness.

I haven't seen Rodney - is his health such that he can even be with us? Or has something happened to him and I don't know about it...

This is a picture that Jackie took last spring when we were on a little trip. It's on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, a large house built before the Civil War and now abandoned. A friend of mine used to live there. She made it sepia.

Heidi, Rodney knows about it, he was around yesterday, I think. His screen name is now RodneyWY, and he's living in Colorado now.
