A man who shared

I talked to Josh two days before his death to say Good Bye to a friend of over 30 years. And that conversation reminded me, again, of how much he was a man who shared. His resources, generously. His ideas, always. His friends, passionately. We often joked that in his previous life he must have been, if not a restaurant critic, a match maker. He found his own match, finally, in Valerie, who made him whole.

He also shared his love for the beauty of everyday birds and their community - and so I try to envision him sharing their freedom, his soul in soaring flight or swim, but surely in a gaggle, a host, a parliament, an exultation, a murmuration or a flock!
