Some days are jewels,
They shine in the sun.
And you're sad when it sets,
For the day's nearly done.
It's the way the world works -
Pay attention; move on,
For there never will be a day,
Just like this one.

I didn't know Julie well, but I'm sad she's gone. People always have to go, and those left behind always miss them. If I've learned anything in recent history, it's to pay attention while they're here. Luckily, Mudcat pays attention even if we don't. Here are Walking Eagle's posts.

This is what she wrote in the 'Why We Sing Part II' thread:

"I sing for the past, present and future. Remember the past, sing it to the present, so it can be passed on to the future."

Thanks for gracing us with your own song.

I hope her family and friends find/have found their way here, even if they don't want to post anything.
