Thoughts about mindfulness, mortality and how we deal with it. There may be some funeral thoughts, including practical ideas from my own experience of many funerals, but there are other 'good funeral guides.' I want to offer branch lines rather than the express route from midwife to funeral director. I want this to be about mindfulness, life and mortality, not about dying. But...

If Not For You
A thought sent me diving through the dear old back catalogue of ancient faves at Mundi Mansions recently, and the thought occurred to me that this could be just the right funeral track for half of a devoted couple. So I played it again, After All These Years.

* If Not For You *
(Bob Dylan)
If not for you
Babe I couldn't even find the door
I couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue if not for you
If not for you
Babe the night would see me wide awake
The day would surely have to break
It would not be new if not for you
If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you
If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
Couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue if not for you
If not for you my sky would fall
Rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you
If not for you
The winter would hold no spring
Couldn't hear a robin sing
I just wouldn't have a clue if not for you
If not for you
