To thine own self be true.
Funeral Service Text: Samantha Frances Thomson 2011-02
This above all: to thine own self be true.
Shakespeare, Hamlet
Samantha, Frances, at the time, taught me that my will had little value compared to that of the Gods. One day, as she was a travelling teacher in Paris, another visitor were to come. All was set in my mind on how to fetch him, who should go to bring him back to the places he would stay, and so on. She gently looked a me with a smile and made me aware that C Influence had already arranged it. I surrendered and learned a lot that day. Thank you, dear Friend, for you determined yet daring teaching and friendship.
