Farewell, Fellow Traveller

FAREWELL, FELLOW TRAVELLER


Beatriz, senyassi

Devoted pilgrim

Having worshipped at

This temple Earth

One among the numberless

Having trod this life path

One among the numberless

Sheds her mortal dress

Sets sail on the

Great Ocean of Being

A vessel of grace

One among the blessed

Heads home for the

Port, the harbor of the

Only Self, the

Loving Self

May the currents favor you

May the winds caress you

May your being touch sacred ground

Adieu, voyager!

Godspeed!
