We will start the memorial with a spiritual quote from Ram Dass-
“We are all just walking each other home”
It is meant as a way to express the interconnectedness and interdependence of all living beings and things.
We are all on a journey of growth and evolution, and we are here to help each other along the way. We are not alone in our journey through life, but rather we are all in it together, supporting each other and learning from each other.
In essence, this is a reminder that we are all connected, and that the journey of life is not meant to be taken alone. Rather, we should support each other and help each other along the path, as we all “walk each other home”.
