millbank Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Wishing to take pause remember friend Paul departed around this day May 13 2006 Remembered well each day A woman, whose father had passed away, came to see Jacob because there was a tradition to cover the mirrors during the time of mourning, and she struggled to understand the significance of this act. Is it so I do not concern myself with vanity but think about my father? Yes, said Jacob. Is it so I do not see myself in this deep sadness? Yes, said Jacob. Is it so I do not confuse the image of life with life itself? Yes, said Jacob. And what else Jacob? Well, said Jacob, if it is death that gives life meaning, then, perhaps, this tradition is to remind us that, when we have not lost someone, we shouldnt lose ourselves by refusing to pay attention to who we are, what we have been, what we are becoming.

IDBillzFan Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Same here.... People like him are what makes the board worth hanging around. Never met him personally, but I knew him well enough to know he'd have appreciated your pun.
boyst Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 It happened while I was away and remember finding out about it after a few years hiatus. Shocking news.
