I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush; I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. -Anonymous Eskimo Legend Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.
