Usually in our village there is a large ceremony at the cemetery, but because humans here are so creative, at 11 a.m. there will be taps played in procession, trumpet players lined up every 1/10 of a mile for two miles.  I’ve been reading every story phrase of the 1000 lives the NY Times gleaned from obituaries all over the country as a sample of the 100K.  I love ones like Kerry Lehman, 62, Jackson, Mich., shining light and an uplifting presence and Frances M. Pilot, 81, Wall, NJ, known as Big Mama to all who loved her; I am amazed by ones like Philip Kahn, 100, Westbury, NY, World War II veteran whose twin died in the Spanish Flu epidemic and Jerzy Glowczewski, 97, NYC, last of the WWII Polish fighter pilots; and we honor Idris Bey, 60, NYC, EMT and former Marine who rushed to the World Trade Center on 9/11 and Don Osceola, 77, Hollywood, FL, decorated Vietnam War veteran and member of the Seminole Tribe.  Humans are so varied and creative both in their lives and in their expressions to honor them.  Selah.
