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.

I last saw Bruce at the 2006 Annual which I had the honor and big, big blessing of co-mastering. When I now put my attention on Bruce there at the EI, what I get is light...I see him standing there and I see light radiating from him - rays of light come from him and I am feeling illuminated.

I first met him at my 2nd EI, the Annual in 1986, Edrid the master, Bruce was one of the monitors, and it all seemed crazy and mysterious to me. Over and over, Bruce set me back on track speaking of the great, unlimited possibilities that I would certainly achieve! I could feel his joy and love of the process, deep commitment to truth - to getting me to truth. All this power was accompanied with great belly laughs and piercing looks!

I'm very grateful for this noble man.

I love you, Bruce.
