Todd-- I hope the road you're on now isn't too rough or too long. Prayers and love to you and yours.

Peaceful Journey, Todd..

"Seems like I've been here before
Can't remember when
But I've got this funny feeling
We'll all be together again."

God bless you.

"ride the range and look strange, my friends.. and never flinch."

Consider it done, Oh ye curmudgeon blunderbrother with a heart of gold. I'm a bit rusty and my new steed is green, but we'll see how it goes. Since I do the first two on a fairly regular basis anyhow, they probably won't send for those guys with butterfly nets quite yet. And I'll try not to flinch.

I refuse to eulogize you prematurely, but I'll be thinking of you often. Namaste.
Love, saki

Todd, before you walk that last mile, I'd just like to take this opportunity to say, "Thank You" for everything, especially for the very impressive and positive difference you have made here in the Arlonet community. It's been an honor to have met you and embrace your friendship. I shall remember you always.
You, Cindy & Michael are in my thoughts and prayers daily.

Todd, If its true that we are here to learn to love and to be loved, then you Todd, have truly succeeded. I read these posts and am warmed by all the love these people feel for you. What a wonderful life with such wonderful friends. You are a blessed soul, Todd -- to KNOW you are loved. God bless. Anna

"A breath to center, hands free at my sides, silently, steadily following the intricate ancient path, I begin the journey home."

Each step of the journey you go Todd, go with God.

We are here, all of us, if you need us.
Namaste, my friend.
From your Bel o'the North

Hi Friends...

I talked with Todd this morning in the hostipal. It was nice to hear his voice even if he sounded a little weakened. I have read every one of the notes you've posted and I am very proud to know you all. One of us is leaving shortly but thank God we've had the time to say hello in the first place and the time to say good-bye now.

There is a special grace that accompanies our souls in whatever we are doing - It's reserved for those with hearts big and strong enough to hold it. I call it the mother, you can give it your own name - it doesn't matter. It is what gives birth to us and what receives us. It is the door through which we come and go at the begining and end of each lifetime. When one of us is coming or going, the door seems closer than usual.

Place your attention just a few inches above your head and keep your back straight - With a quiet mind you can see clearly without looking.

What a pleasure it has been to know you Todd... and look what joy your life has brought to all of us. I am in awe of the notes my friends have posted for you to read... I know you are too.

Love as always,
adg

More prayers just said for Todd. Hang it there. We're hoping for a miracle... Peace & God Bless...

todd.. todd.. todd..
well, i just thought i'd pop in to say hi.. or whatever would be most appropriate (i'm not always good at appropriate..).
it's one of my big regrets that we never managed to meet up -- i have a funny feeling we'd have gotten along quite nicely.
there'll always be a place in my heart for ya, as you probably know.

what more to say? i don't know.. we were always so in synch that i don't think i really need to say anything.. you know how i feel.

if you feel like chatting, send me your phone #, or call me 604-689-2531 (collect!).

you can take the wheel if you want, but watch out for the damn bats!!!! (make sure you take a little gonzo with ya, even heaven needs some...)

love ya.

Todd,

I only know you through your postings, but you are one of the most courageous people I've encountered. May you be surrounded by the peace and comfort from all who love you.

With much love

...the first time I met you in person,Todd, you were wearing a tshirt that said..."Does Not Play Well With Others"...funny, but how untrue...look at all these beautiful messages...filled with tears and love....
...a favorite Psalm ..number 27.. has the lines "I am still confident of this I will see the goodness of God in the land of the living..." and I see your face...
...my prayers are for whatever you want...exactly as you want it.....

..and if we can't sit on the Church steps this fall as usual...then I'll sit with you in the Silence....

Love always and everywhere, kj

Hell Todd, these folks seem to like you very much, I just thought you might be fun to hop a few trains with, I did want to remind you that now might be a good time to reread Illusions, one never knows when a roadside attraction just might change an entire journey.

Hang in there Bro.

No more chattering monkey mind, thank goodness. I wish you peace.

Jamie

One of the things I looked forward to the most when visiting the church was chatting with you on the church steps, Todd. I appreciated your ability to speak your mind, your wisdom, your humanity, and your helping hands. Heck, you even saved my butt when it was obvious that AAA wasn't an option in the Berkshires at 10 pm on a Thursday night and I had a flat tire, and a spare with a blowout. In the rain.
It's been a privilege to know you, my steadfast friend. There will always be a place in my heart for you. Peace and hugs.
