Dr. Chris Reading: In Memoriam

My good friend, Dr. Chris Reading, after a long illness has died, his spirit returning.

I’m sure that as the spirit of another old friend, Dr. George Goodheart reassures me, he too will do better work now that he has been set free.

****

How can I mourn the death of a dedicated doctor now free in spirit to work as he could not when here?

Chris, you will no longer be concerned with mundane medicine. In your illness you Learned what really matters — and this, I believe, will be your new work for us.

****

His death a vacuum
that Nature abhors.

****

His death:
here mourning,
There rejoicing.
