I received word that Ray died today from pancreatic cancer.
His wife Sunny also a close friend died of cancer three years ago.
Ray was selected and totally groomed by JZR, in turn.. Ray would groom others,
Particularly with his legendary wine toast's that seemed to last an eternity.........8..........
our wee circle joke was to name Ray WalkenTalka ;-)
But beyond all that... Ray was my brother and Sunny my sister, they will always hold a special place in my heart.
I just wish he had freed his heart and mind from the RSE madness before now.....
I am sad today...He will be missed by many loved ones.
Gods speed my friend..
I will listen for your heartbeat within our next journey circle.

David.

Some beautiful moments we shared with SunRay Winter.....

Go Forward With Courage

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still;
be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists
-- as it surely will.
Then act with courage.

Ponca Chief White Eagle (1800's to 1914)
Lakota Instructions for Living

Friend do it this way - that is,
whatever you do in life,
do the very best you can
with both your heart and mind.

And if you do it that way,
the Power Of The Universe
will come to your assistance,
if your heart and mind are in Unity.

When one sits in the Hoop Of The People,
one must be responsible because
All of Creation is related.
And the hurt of one is the hurt of all.
And the honor of one is the honor of all.
And whatever we do effects everything in the universe.

If you do it that way - that is,
if you truly join your heart and mind
as One - whatever you ask for,
that's the Way It's Going To Be.

Aw, so sorry to learn of this.
Ray's last years were no doubt difficult, first with the sudden passing of Sunny and then to have such a miserable form of cancer.

David, Ray and Sunny were lucky to have you as their friend through the many years...as we all are. Rest easy, my friend. I share your sadness.

With love, Kensho
