TIMOTHY HOWARD - A TRIBUTE

                    Just before returning from a trip to TN I got word a dear and precious friend had left this realm and transitioned. It was not unexpected but it was a blow none the less. He was so loved and will be sorely missed by many of us here in Florida and others he touched worldwide.

                    After I wrote this tribute to Timothy I felt it was important to share it so others could see the impact their lives can make.

                    When you called Tmothy's cell phone it answered like this. .. "Aloha from my heart, this is Timothy. . . "

                    So today I say to Timothy:

                   Aloha from My Heart To Yours
                          My Precious Friend!

                    Timothy Howard. . . my friend, my confident, my brother, and a part of my very being. Timothy and I knew the moment we met in our physical bodies we had found each other at last! We had reconnected to a part of our being which had always been and now was becoming aware of its divine oneness. It was love at first sight. . . . the unconditional love of divinity as it sees itself in another. A love that recognizes there is no time, space or matter separating our true essence from God or those we love.

                    Timothy helped me see a deeper part of my being. My brilliance, light, and magnificence as he called it! He reminded me each time we were together and assured me it was not just words but the truth of who I was and why I had come. He touched a part of me which had been hidden in the world of appearances, and brought it forth in a greater dimension. Timothy helped me appreciate the gift of life with its times of beauty, humor, and even deep introspective reflection. He loved life but was able to embrace eternity without fear or regret.

                    Today I cannot say goodbye to part of myself, I can only agree I will sense Timothy in ways other than a flesh and blood body. He is with me always, because he is a part of all I AM. He told me a few weeks before his transition, "If I go you will find me!" I know this is true for I have already heard his voice gently speaking and singing love songs within my spirit. I have sensed his presence in the soft breeze of each new morning and the stillness of the evening sunset. He is with us always, for I have seen him in each of you who grieves his passing!

                    Words cannot fully express the essence of this man. . . this gentle giant, this loving spirit which came for such a short time to reflect our own beauty back to us. He came to awaken within us a love which passes through all dimensions and overcomes all separations. Timothy, our forever friend. . . his brilliance now shines within each of us who connected with him. He will be expressing himself though me, through you, and all he touched.

                    Will I ever forget Timothy. . . Impossible, for he is indelibly encoded in my very DNA....he is the essence of my being and the light which will forever shine as a new path opens for all humanity!

                    I love you my precious Timothy and nothing can separate us...we are forever ONE!

                    God is the fabric of your bones, the beating of your heart, the vibration of your voice, the intimacy of your breath. All you have to do is look inside . . . the Secret is . . . God IS. Jeevan
