‘De doden laten hun schaduwen achter, een echo van de ruimte waarin ze ooit geleefd hebben. Ze kwellen ons, omdat ze nooit wegkwijnen of ouder worden, zoals wij dat wel doen. Het verlies dat wij betreuren is niet alleen dat van hun toekomst, maar ook van onze toekomst.’

Old Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
May God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.
May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
May God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.
May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.
May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.

Pelgrim
Pelgrimeren betekent de weg van ons verlangen gaan.
Dat verlangen voert ons echter verder dan deze wereld.
Het leert ons dat er iets in ons leeft dat deze wereld overstijgt.
