Macy just sent me this on my phone. She is at a balloon launch in honor of one of her all time favorite teachers, Mr. Capito. He died suddenly of a heart attack last week at age 56. There was no funeral....the family wanted people to show up and share stories about him. and nobody was aloud to wear black. He touched a lot of lives as you can see by the colorful balloons. R.I.P. Cappy as Macy says....

In the words of Macy: You could tell he was not your average teacher. we all attached personal notes to him to the balloons, we took a lap around the track and then made an M shape in the field, then we counted to three and said "rest in peace cappy!" it felt amazing to be a part of it! :)

Once we see that everything is impermanent and ungraspable
and that we create a huge amount of suffering if we are
attached to things staying the same, we realize that
relaxing and letting go is a wiser way to live.  Letting
go does not mean not caring about things.  It means
caring about them in a flexible and wise way.
