Lynx has gone home
Hello everyone. My beloved Uncle Lynx went home yesterday afternoon, after two months of living with leukemia. He was 76.
He was a gifted helper, humble and wise. His humour was delicious, his strength awe-inspiring, and his love of his family and his people is his everlasting legacy. He overcame his addiction to alcohol and devoted the rest of his life to helping others heal from their addictions, using our beautiful ancient Indigenous teachings and philosophies.
In memory of you, my Uncle Percy, I love you so much, I am so glad to have had you walk with me for this stretch of life, and I know one day when I am done this Earth walk I will go home too, and you will be there, with my precious Father and All My Relations, to welcome me home.
Kitchi Miigwetch.
Ojibwe Prayer
Oh, Great Spirit
Whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me, I am small and weak,
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold
the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have
made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things
you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have
hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my Spirit may come to you without shame.
(translated by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark in 1887; also attributed to Chief Dan George, Tsleil-Waututh Nation/Coast Salish)

Blessings to your uncle Lynx, Raven Poet. Though you will miss him here, he will always be near you in spirit. Just imagine the wonderful things he is discovering now.
The prayer is so beautiful.

Thank you, everyone. I've been away from SF for awhile, just to process my grief.
I had a little ceremony as a tribute for him last week. I wasn't able to travel the 6 hour drive to his home community for his wake and funeral. It felt good.
BTW, he was 72, not 76. (Oops! Sorry Percy!)
I can still hear his voice and see his smile ... he is with us always, just in a different way.
Much love to you all.
