From our Brother Hassan:
Beloveds,
Please join us for our monthly circle of remembrance. On this evening we’ll be especially remembering the many contributions Laurie Julian made to our circle. She passed this week after a brief but intense struggle with brain cancer. Remembrances of and for Laurie are on her Caring Bridge site.
Below is excerpted from her long time partner Corinne. It captures her essence beautifully.
Much Love
Hassan
A Dance with Life
Journal entry by Corrine Bayley — Jan 7, 2019
Laurie Julian had a joyful dance with life — and a brief dance with brain cancer. She has left us peacefully, turning fully into the Light. Her 60th birthday would have been August 16, 2019. Her mother Elizabeth always said that Laurie was born with one foot in another plane; part of her was always with the angels. She was and is surely one of their tribe. She told me during her illness that her greatest joy was the privilege of opening a portal to see the divine essence in people — and to let them see it in themselves. As a friend said on this site: You shine your light so brightly on those you meet that it makes everyone feel seen and deeply cherished. We have all felt that, and I am beyond grateful for having felt it for 30 years. We will miss her generous sharing of music, joy, compassion, love, zest for life, and deep spirituality. Each of us carries something of what we loved in her, and we each have our own gifts. Let’s help each other share them even more brightly than before. The world can’t afford to lose any amount of light or love.
