From Death Comes Life...Always! B^]

Govinda Prasad Kharel and Phill Michael ride the Wheel of Life...as we all do.

I am watching the Cosmos swirl from the Centre of the Universe...and once again...I can see for centuries...millennia actually. Can you see it too?!

It's time like this that a heightened sense of things begs us to be more aware of our immediate surroundings...and the goodness that envelops us.

This new era is bringing kindred spirits closer together. I feel like I am experiencing proof of that on a daily basis. I embrace it...and you should too.

It's easy to have moments of clarity from the comfort of the Kathmandu Guest House in spectacular Nepal.

I'm reminded of another moment of clarity...the moment I read 'Frank is Gone...'.

Frank and Rosemary Hayday...and Phill in early 2008

Frank Hayday passed onto his next life a month ago. His last words to me (via thousands of miles of airspace) were "See you on January 28th at noon!"

He was right. I did see him at that exact moment...as tears welled up in my eyes...at his funeral. One of my favorite tunes of all time, Sarah Brightman singing 'Pie Jesus' , warmed my bionic heart as I watched a slideshow of Frank's life.

Frank Hayday in his Element

Frank's vigorous energy inspired me, from the second our eyes met. The Cosmos willed us to meet. I can thank Mary for the daily reminder of that.

At the beginning of 2008, Frank Hayday's capable hands manipulated an elbow brace to help protect my wounded arm. His caring nature ensured it was just right.

This is who Frank Hayday was...and we will always miss him. We will always feel a void when we can no longer have the opportunity to look into the living eyes of visionaries who have touched our lives. That's why we should never hesitate to reach out to people who have left an indelibly positive mark on our respective beings. That's why we should always honour their energy.

Frank Hayday's life is complete...and now he has left us Here to complete ours.

In 2010, I was fortunate enough to meet with Earl Bakken ...another visionary who has purely and altruistically affected the lives of billions or people.

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to enjoy the hospitality of Gopal Sunder Lal Kakshapati. His sparkling and genuine aura inspired me to write this dispatch today. It's true.

As the wheel of the Rotary turns a little more, its hub(Nepal) welcomes me 'Home'.

As Dawa, the Colgans and I embark on a Foundation Trek for the SherpaSchool.ORG ...I am once again reminded that:

'From Death Comes Life...Always!'
