Recently, I have been greatly honoured to have been working with the hugely inspirational Mary Robinson Reynolds of www.makeadifference.com. Over the past months, she has helped me to make the Light Beyond movie, which is based on the funeral poem Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep, even better, and we are now working together to bring it to the attention of a much wider audience. Here is what Mary has to say in her own words:
"NOW moments are about making a conscious effort to drink in our time with each other. With Thanksgiving and Christmas rapidly approaching, we often get caught up in the busyness of preparation and trying so hard to make it a wonderful experience.
We received a call from Canada last week wanting to know if we had a movie that would help the bereaved family of a fourteen year old boy, who made his transition after falling from a tree. It just so happened, that we had been in communication this past year with a beautiful young woman, Lucie Storrs who, in loving memory of her own mother, had revised a poem written by Mary Elizabeth Frye (1904-2004) and turned it into a free flash online movie. Having loved and lost a son of my own, I felt instantly drawn to the healing message of the poetry of this movie. We'd been working with Lucie on some revisions, and it seemed that now was the clearly the time to complete it and make it available for people to be renewed by.
I remember back when our son passed on, I could hardly breathe in the next breath ... and the things that helped us the most were the books about love and loss that a member of our community brought to us in the hospital. We clung to those books to make it through the early days... and ultimately gave us a seed of hope for the future.
It is our hope that this week's meditative movie brings everyone who needs it, a peace that passes all understanding.
Thank you for all you are doing to make this world a more peaceful place to live. We welcome you to pass this movie along to those you know who will appreciate your love and support in their time of need.
Continued blessings,
Mary Robinson Reynolds
