heartbroken this morning. the world has lost a beautiful human being, an incredible mind and an even more incredible heart and soul. blessed to have known u dear ryan. may u rest in peace my dear friend. ur kindness and generosity, ur calm intelligence, ur love of justice and beauty, ur ability to connect with warmth and honesty, ur stunning humility, ur fine presence in the world will continue to shine. may ur family find strength and solace in that harmonious light. it has been an extraordinary honor.
Although you appear in earthly form
Your essence is pure Consciousness.
You are the fearless guardian
of Divine Light.
So come, return to the root of the root
of your own soul.
When you lose all sense of self
the bonds of a thousand chains will vanish.
Lose yourself completely,
Return to the root of the root
of your own soul.
(Maulana Rumi)
