A day for Mike
posted by John Davies at 9:04 PM
In London for Mike Yaconelli's tribute service at 'the Greenbelt church', St Luke's Holloway. A sizeable gathering sat, typically for Greenbelt, for the most part on the floor, feeling damp after soggy journeys. Good to be together to remember a man who made us all smile, laugh, cry, feel at many points in our lives. I said my little piece, as did many others, Meg shared her impressions of last week's U.S. tribute service, we lit candles, wrote messages to Mike, Karla, God. Afterwards Stuart, Michelle and I raised our glasses to Mike, fittingly, in an Italian restaurant, and we agreed that, pivotal to the service, 'Kite' by U2 seemed to fit the spirit of the man, the spirit of the day:I'm a man
I'm not a child
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know
Where the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
I don't want to see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye
Did I waste it
Not so much I couldn't taste it
Life should be fragrant
Rooftop to the basement
