Cynthia Laid to Rest
February 2025
Cynthia, after over 20 years with us here on our property, has been laid to rest in a place accessible to all in eternity.
As much as we would have liked to keep her with us, looking into the future, we know with the increasing fires and other
climate & health impacts, that this land will not be in our hands permanently; and we don't want her ashes to be left to the
whims of strangers. For that reason we have chosen our own favorite place for Cynthia to rest.
In her instructions, she asked that she stay with us, but barring that, be laid to rest in the ocean where she could be free as the waves.
In her words:
-- Take me to the ocean and ultimately set me free, for nothing soothed me more, or put it all in perspective better, than the waves of the ocean...
Where she was placed, in a glorious sea arch few know about, is a public place, accessible to all, in one of the most beautiful sections of the California coast. True, it is desolate, but that is something she would appreciate, as she would if those who loved her, visited.
It is a place Candice and I visit regularly to pare ourselves of the day-to-day burdens; and as Cynthia alluded to, it is the strength and sound of the waves that have that power. We will visit her often, and hope that her friends and family may also visit should they pass this way..
Most importantly, may she be at peace.
