The remembrance and applauding of a fine human being happened yesterday in a New York City chapel.

Patricia Albere

She has contributed to the lives of thousands of people … including me.

The service was livestreamed to reach those of us who live far away.  I watched as members of the Evolutionary Collective hugged each other, wishing I was there for the giving and receiving.

Friends, colleagues and Patricia’s son Alex spoke to us.  I wrote down some things.  Here is who Patricia is:

She did not come for herself.  She came for us

The question is how we live what she revealed

She arrived early to things

A love that evoked our highest potential

Not what’s already known … but what’s emerging

A force of nature somewhat contained in a woman

I couldn’t figure out how she did it

We are not the final version of human beings

Opening into something that is not yet fully here

This evolution of consciousness will continue

And from Patricia …

“Till death do us part is for quitters!”
