Our dear Ingrid Van Shipley passed away yesterday. We were all so blessed to witness her gifts, her kindness, her generosity and her love for humanity. Ingrid's spirit was as fine as the fabrics she painted and as magical as all the spaces she transformed. The suffering is over and her spirit flies free.
Farewell My Friends - Rabindranath Tagore (Mumbai Poet)
It was beautiful
As long as it lasted.
The journey of my life.
I have no regrets
Whatsoever said.
The pain I'll leave behind.
At the turning of my life.
I came across
Good friends,
Friends who stood by me.
Even when time raced me by.
Farewell, farewell
My friends.I smile and
Bid you goodbye.
No, shed no tears.
For I need them not.
All I need is your smile.
If you feel sad.
Do think of me.
When you live in the hearts
Of those you love.
Remember then.
You never die.
Rest well Beloved.
