Eileen

Jay and Eileen, originally uploaded by Robbi Baba.

Our beloved friend Eileen passed over last night, after a fairly rapid loss of physical strength and function, due to brain tumors. Eileen chose not to seek western medical treatment for her condition, which might not have helped anyway, but would certainly have made her last months a living hell.
Instead she was the center of a community of spiritual healers and in the loving company of Jay and her dearest friends and family. Eileen herself was a spiritual leader in the Sufi community, and one of the warmest, friendliest, ready to laugh and down to earth people I have known.
Although she made a very beautiful and graceful exit, she will be sorely missed.
