May those who can, hang on.
May those who cannot, know all mercy.

CODA
In symbolism, the pine tree remains rooted and green with life, even under duress of cold and raw weather. Cranes make many migrations back and forth between heaven and earth, standing for a certain kind of longevity, that of the soul.

O my God! O Thou forgiver of sins, bestower of gifts, dispeller of afflictions!
Verily, I beseech thee to forgive the sins of such as have abandoned the physical garment and have ascended to the spiritual world.
O my Lord! Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorrows, and change their darkness into light. Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount. – 'Abdu'l-Baha.
dear DragonHeart, well named. This is a beautiful, ancient supplication. Thank you.
