All Is Well<\/strong>
\nDeath is nothing at all,
\nI have only slipped into the next room
\nI am I and you are you
\nWhatever we were to each other, that we are still.
\nCall me by my old familiar name,
\nSpeak to me in the easy way which you always used
\nPut no difference in your tone,
\nWear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
\nLaugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
\nPlay, smile, think of me, pray for me.
\nLet my name be ever the household world that it always was,
\nLet it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
\nLife means all that it ever meant.
\nIt it the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
\nWhy should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
\nI am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
\nJust around the corner.
\nAll is well.
\nHenry Scott Holland

\nThis was read at the end of today’s episode of the new BBC “Father Brown” (based on \/ inspired by the wonderful short stories by G.K. Chesterton<\/a>). Needless to say, it made me cry, but in a good way. (The show itself is well worth checking out, imho, despite the liberties taken – the heart of it, namely Father Brown himself, is still there.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
