~Matt~
Once again I would like to say thank you for creating such a wonderful community here, known as Spiritual Forums. It enriches lives and provides a space for people to share their spirituality free from the constraints of routine and ritual. Please know that it is lovingly appreciated and respected
Much love and peace to you wherever you 'be'

This is a song I wrote for annonafox a little while ago, I thought it would be nice to placed it here. Its called "I wish I could touch you one more time". :hug:

I would have liked to known Matt, because what he started in this Forum is so special. This Forum has become a home away from home as I like to call it, for thousands. Matt's forum had grown to just over 17,000 members before we had to start all over just recently. And I'm so proud to have become a member of Spiritual Forum's team of moderators.

I'm greatful to him for creating this forum, I never had the pleasure of meeting him but I'm sure he was a lovely and wonderful human being, May he rest in peace
|
What a special part of everyones lives Matt obviously was.
What a tribute to the life of an individual to be loved and to live on in the memories and life of someone like Annonafox and in this forum. I have never met Matt but I know him. Blessings and gratitute to life for Matt on this special day tomorrow. James |
I was lucky enough to have spoken with him on a number of occasions and he remains very much a positive influence in my life,

As a new member who only joined the forum last month, I never had the privilege to meet Matt, but his spirit lives on in this beautiful forum he created and which we all honor. I believe the code of conduct should reflect that, as another way in which to honor the wise and gentle heart of the man who founded it. It is so very hard on the hearts of those entwined when one is snatched from this world, leaving the others to find a way to muddle through without the physical presence of the one they love. My heart goes out to Annonafox and all Matt's family members and friends. How lucky you all were to have had the privilege to know this brilliant light-filled soul, and to have shared time with him in his short sojourn on the earth! I pray each day that find some measure of comfort and the strength to carry on Matt's dream and vision. It is such a trememdous service he rendered the world! God bless you all, and God bless Matt.....

For Matt.... A whole year has gone since you returned home four seasons have passed, we return to the cold. Suns still have to set and newer days dawn, we cannot stand still, for time chases us on. Yet though the days, speed hastily forth, we stand firm today, hold on to this one to remember a man, we were blessed to know, so hard to let go of such a beautiful soul. Wherever you may be know these words to be true, as we remember everything we loved about you. daisy |
Daisy, what an exquisite tribute. I did not know Matt, but I feel I've come to know him through the experience of this magificent site he founded and energized. It's a beautiful place, and I'm sure that is in large part due to who and what he was. May his journey be a bright one, and may all of you who played a personal role in his life and are grieving that loss be comforted and uplifted knowing he is carrying on the work from where he is now.....
|
It sounds like he died as a real man should - after starting something more important than one man's life. I salute him.
|
Thank you so very much for everything you do. I am so sorry for your lose of someone you loved so so much... And to be so young and pass...
You will see one another again, I know you know this... This site is a wonderful place full of love, you can feel it all in it. There is no room for anything else... Peace and love be with you and your family... Lots of love... Melanie |

I liked this Christmas photo of Matt (Devolution) and Annonafox so much I saved it. Here it is again for everyone to see for his memory. It's so sad when someone dies young but I believe in God's gift of eternal life and that Matt lives on on the other side. :angel7:

What a nice photograph !

To Matt's family and friends, may the comfort of God help you during this difficult time. When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still.

I think Matt would like this song. It is Judy Collins singing the William Butler Yeats poem The Song Of Wandering Aengus. She calls it The Golden Apples Of The Sun:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygQGVG8yHoE . W.B. Yeats (1865–1939). The Wind Among the Reeds. 1899. 9. The Song of Wandering Aengus I went out to the hazel wood, Because a fire was in my head, And cut and peeled a hazel wand, And hooked a berry to a thread; And when white moths were on the wing, And moth-like stars were flickering out, I dropped the berry in a stream And caught a little silver trout. When I had laid it on the floor I went to blow the fire a-flame, But something rustled on the floor, And someone called me by my name: It had become a glimmering girl With apple blossom in her hair Who called me by my name and ran And faded through the brightening air. Though I am old with wandering Through hollow lands and hilly lands, I will find out where she has gone, And kiss her lips and take her hands; And walk among long dappled grass, And pluck till time and times are done, The silver apples of the moon, The golden apples of the sun. Rest in Peace, Matt . You are missed. |
Living show life of love, whereof
The force wields earth and heaven above: Who knows not love begotteth love? Love poises earth in space, Love rolls Wide worlds rejoicing on their poles, And girds them round with aureoles. Love lights the sun, Love thro’ the dark Lights the moon’s evanescent arc, Lights up the star, lights up the spark. O ye who taste that love is sweet, Set waymarks for the doubtful feet That stumbles on in search of it. Sing notes of love: that some who hear Far off inert may lend an ear, Rise up and wonder and draw near. Lead life of love: that others who Behold your life, may kindle too With love, and cast their lot with you. --Christina Rossetti With love to you, dear Matt. I didn't want you to go....... |
~How beautiful that is!

I believe (dedicated to Anonnafox & Matt )
I believe the heart lives on Long after we are gone It stays with you It stays with me Forever is how it will always be I believe you're here with me I believe you always will be The memories of times we've spent The moments we shared and still share Are truly Heaven sent ! I believe in happily ever after Whether its here on earth, or in the here after Together we will always be Me with you, and you with me The tears we shared And also the laughter Echo in the mind, happier times Always and forever, yours and mine Memories we treasure, and keep close in our hearts a Love divine will keep us together remembrances of you Heaven sent sometimes a song, sometimes a feather I believe the heart lives on Long after we are gone It stays with you It stays with me Forever is how it will always be with love ♥ Dream Angel xx (written last night with Anonnafox & Matt on my mind ) |

How poignant the poem and painting... I feel your pain to the depths of my soul. May you be comforted as time goes by. It doesn't fade, the pain born of loss, but we do learn to cope over time. I am extending healing, comforting light to you .... |
Dream, what a beautiful and inspired poem.....

I think when the forum crashed it was a message from you, to pick up the pieces and start afresh, just as you did, one year ago today. Thank you for this forum. I actually like it better now even though we lost so many meaningful words that were written by its members. Because nothing is really lost if it is important enough. It stays in the memory, or it will be said again and again, falling on the eyes that are meant to read it. This was the second crash since you passed. And again, I thought we lost it all for good. I let it go, and it came back, just like love. It is spirit that got it going, and keeps it, and I am appreciative. I know you are resting in peace, looking over it all. Because you did what you were supposed to do this life, and then left. Take care.

With love and blessings to Matt's family~~~
With eternal love for dear, precious Matt~~~ |
Where Hyacinth's blood flowed, the beautiful flower bearing his name sprung forth.
Your spirit flows through my life, and beauty forevermore will spring forth wherever I feel your love, your presence, and your gentle heart. I love you......dear one...... |
I believe Matt created Spiritualforums to give his beloved, Annonafox, and my life-long true friend, a steady home where she can always go and feel Matt's love for her and his hope for a more loving world.

My thoughts go out to you. It is sad when you loose someone. Life is precious.

I love you Matt......I would like to hold you in my arms.....

A year has passed,
Did I blink? Oh so very fast, Barely time to think. The pain is yet strong, I feel you near. My aching heart be gone, Fly away fear. Take my hand and squeeze, Stroke my soul. As subtle as a soft breeze, I am consoled. Yet with no more sight, I do believe. You are my perfect light, I will not grieve. All that you are remains, Stay eternally. No binding chains, We are free. Written by NightSpirit in dedication to Heidi and Matt :hug3: |
Thanks
What a lovely message I am sure it has also reached Matt. Mum:brave:
