Dariusz, thank you for all the days of good friendship and growth that we shared together. You were one of the best communicators I've ever known always speaking your mind clearly and with much love. Thank you for being you and I'm going to miss you so much. I am so lucky to have spent time with you on endless numbers of days in the early years in Seattle. Sitting and sharing smokes and coffee for hours with you was a highlight for us. It was magical to spend time with you and have a good friend like you to really share life with. Thank you for all of the healing you gave to me and thank you for going too and finding the lost little boy hiding away from the world, he is back and thanks to you living a full life. I love you for that retrieval of my missing soul. I went looking for you about a year ago. I sent you an e-mail and left a voice mail. With no answer I wasn't concerned I just knew that you were busy and we would eventually catch up again. I'l miss you my brother. I'll catch up with you again someday I'm certain of that. Thank you so much for all you gave this earth. When I see limousine I still call out Madonnas name! LOL

Dear Dariusz,

You were the best psychic / intuitive I know. I know several.

But you were spot on with one very heart-breaking event that has come to pass. Just last week (12/06/10) my father died very unexpectedly. My last two readings with you, even though they were several years ago, eluded to this, in a very gentle, loving way, per usual. My heart aches with this passing of an angelic Light in the world, just as yourself passed one year ago.

Thank you for reiterating about this, even though I could see my Papa-san (as I called him), not taking good enough care of himself.

I am forever grateful to you, Dariusz...and this, too, you already know.

Love,

Gina

Dariusz,

Yesterday I turned to my sweetheart and said “I keep seeing today’s date and getting hung up on it.. like today is someone’s birthday”. Indeed it was. When I’ve told people about my time with you and I come to the part about your sudden departure I always tell people that you never seemed to waste time wrapping your arms around whatever came next. So I imagine that your higher self saw an incredible opportunity to grow and wasted no time in taking you to that place. Somehow you inspire me even in your passing – I try not to waste time now. I know that you’ve been joyfully reborn into a new journey of one type or another. You, beautiful man, come to mind so often. I want to tell you that I miss you and I thank you for all that you’ve done – and for all that you continue to do. If the measure of our lives is the impact we make on others, we’re going to need a much bigger stick. :)

With so much love,

Mische

Dear Dariusz,

It is hard for me to believe that a year has passed since you left us! Actually, you have been around quite a bit - in dreams, visitations, and even a warning when something very difficult was about to happen - and for that I am so grateful. But I still miss you, the Earthly you, so much - coming to visit you in your Belltown apartment, your orange kitties, your bawdy sense of humor, your wisdom and your vision. I can still hear your voice, and see your mischevious face. In Judaism the one year anniversary of the death of a loved one is observed by lighting a Yahrzeit candle and letting it burn for 24 hours. I will burn this candle in honor of you, whose light shown so very brightly on this earth, and still does from beyond.

With love,

Stacey

Thank you, Dariusz.

To Dariusz:
On this summer day I remember how you guided us toward our own prayer, and I am so grateful.

The Summer Day

Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?This grasshopper, I mean-the one who has flung herself out of the grass,the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down-who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don't know exactly what a prayer is.I do know how to pay attention, how to fall downinto the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to dowith your one wild and precious life?

—by Mary Oliver

from Lucia

‘Tis a fearful thing
To love
What death can touch.
To love, to hope, to dream,
And oh, to lose.
A thing for fools, this,
Love,
But a holy thing,
To love what death can touch.

For your life has lived in me;
Your laugh once lifted me;
Your word was a gift to me.

To remember this brings painful joy.

‘Tis a human thing, love,
A holy thing,
To love
What death can touch.

Dariusz, keeper of the Good:What a treasured gift it has been, to study the rudimental code of rightliving and the ethereal practices toward connection with shamanic spirit,opening the gates to journey, in canoe through sparkling waters, staring atwalls until the voice speaks, and holding hands creating sacred circle,animal spirit alongside. You are sorely missed Dariusz, I hoped you'd behere forever, though I know you are, I ache from the loss of your passingfrom this sweet, sorry middle earth. So full of tears, though I hear yousay: "no, don't cry. I am so spectacularly happy and so full of illuminatinglight, beyond my wildest dreams." Thank you Dariusz, for dancing finelessons with humor and fervor and passion. Thank you for soul retrievalhealing, ancestors summoned, youthful parts returned, illness coaxed toleave. You became a... leopard, a growling panther... at first frightenedand then fascinated, you filled my heart with your sacred efforts. Nowtattooed Green Man goes home to green earth. You glow verdant, you shine sobright. I am grateful everyday and blessed in your loving guidance.
