A Passing

[Charles Drago]

Condolences on your loss, sir. Nature or nurture, our predecessors live on through those they touch.

Indeed they do.

And they literally live on, each spirit as individual, singular and recognizable as in physical life, in the elsewhere that is our common destination.

Those who did not know Arthur Beatini incarnate can experience him during those rare moments when somehow I exhibit whatever goodness is within me ... whatever nobility, whatever love.

All failings are mine alone.

Thanks, Ed. I know you understand.
