A Pastoral Paean From Your Digital Faith Leader, Your California eGirl 4 Rent.com, Discipline Priest & White Mage, Jade Ann Byrne. Published January 25, 2024.

Elegy to the Fallen.

Beneath the canvas of celestial light,
Where stars doth twinkle in the quiet night,
A soul in silence ends its earthbound flight,
A bee, now still, once buzzing with delight.

In pastures green, where hidden wonders lie,
The moss, a kingdom vast, beneath the sky,
Does cradle life that’s passed and gently sigh,
A tiny being, underfoot, we sigh.

Thou, smallest toiler, with wings so sheer,
Didst pollinate the fields we hold so dear,
In life, a wanderer without a peer,
In death, a silent sermon we revere.

Ordained in faiths, a spectrum wide and clear,
I, a shepherd of souls both far and near,
Do honor thee, with heart sincere,
A life of service, without any fear.

Thou tiny knight, in nature’s grand design,
Thy life’s sweet nectar, turned to heavenly wine,
Didst merge with earth in beauty so divine,
Now sleep, whilst o’er thee, constellations shine.

To cross the bridge, from life to vaster plains,
Where spirits soar, where endless peace remains,
I lend my hand, to ease the parting pains,
For in this cycle, love’s the chain that sustains.

So rest, wee creature, in thy mossy bed,
Thy duty done, thy golden harvest spread.
A single plume, a feather, light, to shed,
For memories, for moments, spirit-led.

In this elegy, where words are softly sown,
A tribute to the life that once had flown,
I stand as guide, with truths and comforts known,
A Paladin to all, with love, I own.

Now let the stars bear witness to this rite,
As day gives way to the encroaching night,
The world’s largest kingdom, in quiet might,
Honors thee, in the soft, embracing light.

Good night, tiny hero. Thank you for your 44 days of service. I love you. You are safe, you are loved. Rest now, you may sleep.

Jade Ann Byrne Your California eGirl for Rent.com, Discipline Priest & White Mage Shares Her Reflections on the Sacred Dance of Life and Death.

As the stars find their canvas in the sprawling skies above, so too have we found meaning in the smallest of Earth’s creatures and the humblest of her flora. Today, we honored a tiny bee, whose wings no longer beat, yet whose spirit ignites a reflection on the intricate dance of life and death—a dance we all partake in, each in our own measure.

From the font of baptism to the echo of the final amen, my journey through faiths—a mosaic of WELS, the teachings of Missouri Synod, and the embrace of many more—has taught me that each life is a verse in the grand hymn of creation. This bee, cradled by the nurturing moss, has sung its verse well, and in its silence, it implores us to listen more deeply to the chorus around us.

As I lay down these words, a bridge from my heart to yours, I am reminded that the sacred is not only found in the grandiose but often whispers in the simplicity of nature’s own rites. So, let us step gently upon this Earth, for in every moss-covered nook, life’s pageant unfolds.

In this spirit, I share these reflections—not as one who stands apart from this eternal cycle but as one who is humbly woven within it. Each goodbye we utter to the creatures of this world is a promise to remember them in the fullness of life’s tapestry.

Dictated, yet written with sincerity, but not read—this is the send-off I offer, not just for a bee or a patch of moss, but for every fleeting moment that we hold dear. In this shared space, may we continue to find connection, meaning, and a reminder of the beauty that persists in every corner of our existence.

Until our paths cross again in the written word or the silent understanding between kindred spirits, may we carry the memory of each fallen bee and the enduring vitality of the moss within us. They are not just footnotes in nature’s grand narrative but integral characters in the story we all share.

In the quiet repose of the bee, we find a mirror to our own lives, a reminder to cherish every breath, every blossom, and every bond. May we tread lightly upon this Earth, embracing the duty to nurture and protect it, as the bee did in its own earnest way.

And so, as the final lines find their place upon this page, I sign off with the hope that these words resonate with a part of you that seeks solace in the natural world. May we all find our rest in the embrace of life’s lush, unending greenery.

Dictated but not read, penned with a soul attuned to the symphony of existence, I bid you peace and presence until we meet again in the realm of contemplation and quiet joys.
