Memorial Gathering

On April 22, about 30 people gathered at Dawn's and Barry's house in Walnut Creek for the purpose of remembering Bruce Noble and celebrating the life that he lived. Some of us had not seen each other in many years, a few of us had never met. All of us had some connection to Bruce, and through him, to each other. The sun was shining, though rain had been predicted. We walked up to the amazing oak tree and settled ourselves in its long welcoming branches which provided seating at various levels. Poems were read--some from people unable to join the gathering--memories from over the years were shared, stories were told. I think Jeff Love pretty much summed it up when he stood, stretched his arms toward the sky and shouted out "We love you Bruce!" Osha had Bruce's ashes in a large container and those who wished to took a handful and scattered them around the magnificent tree or took some with them to scatter or bury elsewhere. We walked back down to the house to share the food, sitting in small groups indoors and outdoors to continue sharing both humorous and poignant remembrances of our contact with Bruce. Osha read aloud the Zen story of the 10 Bulls which Bruce had always loved. It was a sweet day.

As I hold Bruce in my heart and wish him well on his journey, I hear him saying "Love is Divine Union" in every dyad. I see his van rocking with his laughter in the parking lot of Isis Oasis. He beckons me over to his chosen corner of the Intensive for dyads- sometimes galactic space maps, soft snoring, or boundless emptiness, ... I feel his never ending delight in the feminine sitting across from him in dyad. I hear him saying at the end of intensives at Origin, " As senior member here, I want to thank Osha for her loving presence and ....
A true old soul without much baggage except his dedication to the truth and enlightenment.
Thank you Bruce, you are a teacher even in your passing.
May the gopis refresh you and sing your praises!
Namaste
