7 Years Commemoration Ceremony

After the funeral, the memorial ceremonies help to slowly process and complete the mourning process.

Prayer and Meditation

The brave army won the victory together, the general drew up the plan of battle alone. The community competed to cut the sheaves, the sower went all alone to sow the seed. Poet's song, inherited from mouth to mouth, gave birth to an hour dedicated to solitude. Suffering springs flow everywhere, the healing spring trickles lonely, secluded.

Enjoyment and suffering of everyday life are together, the highest pride, the deepest pain remains lonely. Under blossoming trees I lie in solitude, dreaming of old times, of old love. Yearning silence all around, only the hum of bees and far away in the valley the sound of a bell. Whether it's the wedding bell or the funeral song, I don't want to interpret it. Lenten clouds pull with gentle flight. Youth life that long faded, O spring weaving, why do you lure me? Golden sunny distances laugh.

New hope, new deception! Years, the magic is enough! No, lull me to sweet rest and cover my dreaming head with blossoms! Rosy twilight envelops me: O blissful disappearance, sleep and never wake up!

Commemoration ceremony - 7 years

It's a still rainy day, so soft, so serious, and yet so clear. Where the sun may break through the twilight, white and strange. A wondrous twilight plays tranquilly over mountains and valleys. Nature, half warm and half cold, she still smiles and cries at the same time.

The hope, the feeling of being lost are awake in me with the same strength. The lust for life, the agony of death, they pull chess on my heart. But I, my conscious self, watch the game in quiet peace, and my soul prepares for the battle with fate.
