Zurich Fluntern – Funeral Service – And as he spoke the parting words, the coffin sank and flowers fell down!

Meditation and Prayer

I hear the brooks rushing back and forth in the forest, in the forest I don't know where I am. The nightingales beat here in the solitude, as if they wanted to say something about the good old days. The shimmers of the moon fly as if I see the castle in the valley below me, and yet it is so far from here! As if my love had to wait for me in the garden, full of white and red roses, and yet she has been dead for a long time.

Today is a year since you were carried out, the long procession went through the alley, the sun was shining, there was no noise and haste, the pigeons rose in whole swarms. And all around the fields colorful autumn clothes, it almost took away the suffering of the funeral procession,

Funeral Service - Zurich Fluntern

A whisper joined the chorale, but now it was silent - we stopped at the portal. The train turned, there was the fresh grave, the next two of us silently looked down. The priest, the last light of the day shone around his friendly serious face. And as he spoke the parting words, the coffin sank and flowers fell down. Late roses, red and white, white mallows and with the flowers fell the three volleys.

That sounded so fresh in our ears and hearts, our suffering vanished, all grief and pain, life, was it little for you, was it a lot for you? I only know one thing, you have reached your goal, you were allowed to be laid in flowers, you have peace now, earth becomes earth. And when the hour comes to line us up with you, let the hour, O God, be like this. All the best on your final journey and rest in eternal peace!
