Under the Strawberry Moon: Marking the passage of time
The moon will be exactly full at 6:43 EST. That’s also the exact time that Harold died. I don’t believe in coincidences. As I told an audience full of people last year during a Story Slam event in Newburyport last year, for me it was no coincidence that he departed on the Solstice — the longest day of the year. I always called him “the man who swallowed the sun”. He was the most radiant person I ever knew. He was indeed a force of nature. (We all are, but he knew it and that was central to everything he taught).
As I considered what to share on this important day of passage I found this quote from Harold.

Last night the friends who sat vigil with me a year ago came over to mark the year anniversary. They are among the many who have loved and supported me this year and my gratitude is boundless.

I hope you all enjoy the moon tonight.
