Life is eternal
And love is immortal
And an horizon
Is nothing
Save the limit of our sight

This sunset photo recalls all our loved ones who have gone beyond the horizon but who continue to speak to us from the next world.

About six months after Fr Johnny Woods died, a man turned up at the presbytery looking for him. “Why do you want him?”
“He promised to bury my father.”
“How did he know your father?”
“They used to walk on the Manzanilla beach together and became friends. Father promised to bury him”
“Well, Father is dead.”

The lay minister knew what Johnny would do for a friend. She went to the home, did the funeral, inviting the Hindu pundit to say a prayer as well. Everyone was touched. Johnny would have been pleased. His friendship had outlasted his life. Dead man talking!
