We are always so saddened when the young leave us before their time. Twenty-eight, so young, so talented, so much to live for.
We are all grateful for the time we were graced with his amazing spirit in this life, and each of us will forever keep him alive with just even the smallest spark of remembrance throughout our lifetime.
Thank you Heath for sharing so much of yourself while you were here with us and condolences to your family and friends.
Here is a beautiful poem by Sam Oliver in tribute to Heath Ledger:
Nature, a reflection of our soul,
reveals the seasons of our lives.
Like people, earth's seasons teach us
patience, awareness, and encourage us to grow.
From the sparkle of sunlight in the doe's eye
to the sparrow elevated by the air below its wings,
the spirit of God is the source of life that fuels our spirit
and raises us above pain and sorrow.
Only the soul can travel to this place above the clouds
where we are lifted by the breath of God.
Here, the lessons learned in nature
disclose to us that dying is a transition into life
and nothing completely disappears.
Rather, we are transformed into another realm of existence
to experience the essence of living
where the soul never dies.
Rest in peace Heath!

Thanks so much for sharing the beautiful Sam Oliver poem in tribute to Heath's passing.
I am still in shock that he left us so quickly and am grateful that a body of his work will continue to live on in film.
His courageous acting graced the screen with his special spirit, his tremendous talent and his total honesty.
Even though I never met him personally, I will really miss his artistry and my heartfelt prayers go out to those who are grieving with the loss of his physical presence on earth.
Thanks Heath for the generous gifts you gave us!
