The bad bird watcher has left the planet !

[9eagle9]

good idea, consider it done for my part, had to think about something that best conveyed my feelings on the matter. Sunrise or Sunset. One turns into the other .

Ere the sun rises.

And Maria you are incredibly brave and wise through out this. If you were not the strong spirit that you were Jorr wouldn't have dared leave you but with the knowledge that you are strong; and that this isn't the end but a initiation into a new journey for the both of you to go together in a in a different way I'm sure he felt pretty safe in going--after all its not like he's going on without you. Or you him.

I and another member attempted to convey our feelings on the matter and when someone is so Source connected as Jorr was it reminds of us of the circumstances when we disconnected from Source and the pain attached to that. Then we have to go inward and find there is no disconnection, the external event of death is a reminder. It brings our own grief up to be released and his passing is transformed into an act of healing.

thank you maria for allowing us to share that grief with you, and thanks to Jorr for taking it on with him . Some people may find it odd that we are so affected by a personality that we all barely knew-- and that is true. We barely did but as Jorr recently commented himself its not the personality but the presence which I understood to be the way a person is connected to Source and thus expresses that connection by presence. That is what most affects us the journeying on who was so connected in time when so many are disconnected.

The druids had a way of looking at living as a verb of love, and those who arrived at the otherside carrying with them the sorrow of their comrades to be cast into the beyond, were measured among the mightiest of all. It was a hallmark of how well they had loved and in doing so a hallmark of how well they had lived.

Hey folks,

I suggest we all change our avatars to birds or bird related themes, as a last humble tribute to our dear friend, Jorr.

I´m sure he will appreciate it.

Regards,

Raf.

Hello María,
there's no much that can be said good enough to make you feel better on a day like this but I can assure you, in the next days and weeks you'll be reading all of this and you'll be able to feel all the love you think you don't have right now.
To you I'm sending all the love and compassion I can, to Jorr... I know he's the happiest he has ever been so I'm happy for him.

[WhiteFeather]

I am deeply shocked Maria. My condolensces to you and Jor's family. You as well as this forum were blessed to be with such a wonderful soul. As Bob Dean would say, hes gone home now. And Im sure hes in an awesome place as we speak and is being prepared to take on his new soul journey. He is truly free now. I leave you this prayer and a song. All of my love. XXX OOO.

May the stars carry your sadness away, May the flowers fill your heart with beauty, May hope forever wipe away your tears, And, above all, may silence make you strong.

All is Well.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news Maria, my sincere condolences to you and your family. I wish you all the strength, understanding and support that you need at this hard time.
I guess we all have our favoured contributors here, whose posts and replies we gravitate to and respect. Jorr was most certainly one of those for me. His earthly/earthy presence is missed.

[Zencat]

Maria, I am so sorry for your loss. I am new to Project Avalon, but I enjoyed Jorr's comments in the few threads that I followed.

May he always fly wingtip to wingtip with Spirit ....

[karelia]

My heart goes out to you, Maria.

[Snowbird]

Maria, I send you quiet strength and supportive love. I am so very sorry for your loss. Jorr is most likely reading every entry on this thread and is right by your side. May peace be with you now and later.

[Anchor]

Jorr,

Thanks for all you shared.

Fly, fly, fly now in peace and freedom.

Maria,

May I please too add my thoughts for your solace.

May the time of the intensest grief be short and the memories long.

Anchor.. / John..

[Alekahn]

With tears and smiles I have read through each post here.
I just noticed some words scribbled on a pad of
paper next to the computer as I finished...

Two things were written in bold letters and underlined.

"Wings made whole against the sky" and "All is well".

Indeed so Jorr. It is indeed so.

Peace to your heart Maria.

[Mozart]

Oh, wow, I'm at a loss for words at our loss of Jorr and Marie's as well.


Marie -- my heart goes out to you.


I'm truly touched by all the heart-felt words that have been shared by so many here in this beautiful forum.


Beautiful thread!


I've struggled to get this image above into my avatar ... Paul, or some mod ... can you help?


[Edit: Wot?! It worked! <grin> I hope that you don't mind my use of "Wot" in honor of Jorr ... and I can't believe that I've not yet added him to my friends list ... so he's now on my friend's list, post humus.]


Great idea, Raf, for your suggestion of us to use birds of prey avatars in honor of Jorr.


Fly Home, Jorr. Fly Free, Brother. We'll miss you.


Bon Voyage, Brother.

Peace be with you Maria.

I tend to live in a world of premonition, prescience, at times. The constant reminders enforce knowing that cannot be sidestepped or left, for long.

Over the past three days, in total, a red-tailed hawk came by, and sat in my backyard, I think on the chimney of the house, from what I could hear (what it sounded like), and screeched from that post. At least 4-5 times, two-three days back.

Then, one day back, was a huge commotion, in one of the brushes out front, as the Hawk tried to follow a Robin through the thick brush. Then they burst out, one behind the other, right in front of me, and had to fly around me.

Hawks are unusual, with regard to direct presence in my space.

I wondered what that meant. Now I know.

When people go, I'm always, some might think, oddly happy for them, and compassionate for those who feel the loss. This, as I definitely remember what it feels like to be totally free of the body's influence, on long involved sojourns. It is a feeling unlike any other, the weight is gone, the complexity is gone. The difficulties are gone. The clarity is immense, all thought comes clear - and unbidden.

Jorr is gone now, and he is free.

I await my turn, we await our turns....but.....not yet.

[Carolin]

Maria, I am truly sorry for your loss!! I'll miss Jorr's words of wisdom here on Avalon. May you continue to feel his love and presence until you see each other again.

Love
C

I was able to share the news of Jorr's flying off with another Avalonian, Eaglespirt, who is currently with me in the holistic community we both live and work in. It was unique and rewarding to be able to share forum information worth talking about, in real life, face to face.

I remember, in a relatively recent skype conversation with Jorr, he and I having a laugh that he had not been sent on a vacation for a while. He had figured out how to convey certain information without stepping on toes that were invisible to us. Being fearless can be a liability.

Silly me, I still check my Skype for Jorr, with his falcon looking right at me asking, "Oh. Is it so? Really?" Even sillier, I left him a message that I will miss him.

He is still offline and I am still reduced to tears.

All is well.

[Kindling]

Oh man, loved his posts. Thanks for posting this thread Maria. Lord Sid, thanks so much for the heads up on this thread. I don't know what to say, so terribly sad.

[CdnSirian]

Maria I am so sorry to hear this. Jorr's presence was a great support for us. I will miss it. And I hope that you stay with us, and that you find us to be a support for you.

[Ivanhoe]

Maria,....when I realized what this thread was about I was dumbfounded. I hadn't realized Jorr had passed on. I'm so sorry for your loss dear. I will miss him.
