Thank you for sharing the last post on Lahaina. A few friends have been in touch. Depending where one was at the time, experiences differed significantly. Many people and pets are still missing. Hopefully, some are simply cut off from communications; but unfortunately, many are believed to have perished. Remarkably, both the church and revered banyan tree survived, the church without harm, the banyan tree with wounds from which it is expected to recover.
There are events in life from which we do not recover. Survivors cannot usually contact those on the other side of the veil, but this is not entirely true because some who have crossed over make the effort to connect with those they love. I have had this experience; and thus, rare as it is, it is proof of our ultimate immortality.
This is the time when we seek inner peace to guide us through sorrows and losses. I have always loved this particular aria, perhaps one of the most beautiful ever written, so I wanted to share it with subscribers.
As always, choosing one performance was difficult, but I think the role belonged to Leontyne Price whose sensitivity reveals the opening to heaven.
