Thank you so much Jeanne. I have been picturing his passing for the last few days, and it is filled with relief and light. I see him, healthy and strong, and farming like he was in his NDE vision, either here on earth in some future time, or somewhere else, filled with light and peace. And maybe we are all there, somehow, part of his community. It's amazing to me how he was able to touch the lives of so many of us, without ever even interacting with some of us, let alone meet us. I think of him so often and his wise words and how deeply he experienced this earth life, through his suffering and his hope, and how, despite his own pain and suffering, he always reacted with love, to everything. He will live beyond this realm, in all the hearts of those he touched, and all his writings. I will greatly miss his wisdom on this forum, but feel so blessed that I was able to come across him at all. Sending much love, gratitude and healing to his family.
@jeanne-mayell Thank you for letting us know. I have been thinking about him a lot lately reading all the updates and while the news is not surprising given the last few updates, it's still a huge loss for this community and the world in general. If you speak with his family tell them I may not have known him personally, but I considered him a friend from afar for his amazing ability to see a larger and grander purpose to this universe than I had been able to consider personally. I'll pray for light, love and healing for his entire family. 😢
I am so sad about our dear Coyote. He lived in the same state as me and in the past we briefly spoke to each other in the forum about familiar places we have been. I will miss him, and am so sad about his passing, especially for his family. I will however tell you that I can't help but hear inside of me from spirit how this was a kindness to him. I see him dancing and loving his ability to not be encumbered by his physically limiting body.
I remember reading about his NDE and how he was so determined to overcome his condition with his powerful energy. He really gave it all he had.
And I know that the thing he would want is to have his family be at peace too. I pray that they are able to feel the Angels surround them and provide them all with uplifting love and peace and somehow know that their dear Coyote is with them... I know in my heart he was greeted by them with love and warmth.
Coyote knew of my personal encounter with angels....now he is one too.
@gbs I would also donate in any way that would be fitting for coyote or for the needs of his family. He is now free from all the things that bind us here. He is free of all the bodily constraints he lived with. He is a beautiful spirit and will live on in our hearts and minds and also through his writings. Peace everyone. ☮️💟
@jeanne-mayell Thank you for letting us know.
As I was watching the eclipse last night - I saw a shooting star cross the sky and thought to myself... Coyote has gone Home.
Fly high dear friend... Love and Light to you there on the Other Side.
I had thought about asking here what last nights eclipse meant, but knew it would signal big change for many. I stayed up & watched last night.
If his parents need guidance, there is compassionate friends support group, or you could ask me.
Bless you Coyote. I know you are free and no longer in pain. Happiness & joy will be abundant for you.
I wish I could spout some great words of comfort or wisdom right now, but I'm sitting in the waiting room of the ER, waiting for them to have room for dad & the energy here is far from calm.
@jeanne-mayell I’m heartbroken that Coyote has passed, even though I knew from spirit that “it won’t be long now.” Shortly after hearing that Coyote was in hospice care, I woke up one night and heard those words and it just so happened that these are the same words my beloved stepfather spoke a few weeks before he passed. When my 94 year old stepfather said this, he was in a few brief minutes of lucidity after Alzheimer’s had made him inarticulate for nearly a year. My stepfather talked about “passing through” to his mother and he was happy and excited at the prospect. “It won’t be long now,” he said. He had no fear of death and he said he was grateful for his life.
When we receive intuitive insights or messages from spirit in the form of a personal memory, we pause and consider how that applies today. Knowing Coyote and his exploration of consciousness, his near death experience, his openness to thinking outside the norms of religious boundaries, I suspect he may have been ready to pass out of this existence and into one of spirit. I picture his eagerness to explore this transition and his joy in living past the suffering of his earthly body.
Coyote was very frank about his personal journey, his disease and his disability. I know he wanted to live and went through all these surgeries to prolong his life. At 27 years old, Coyote left a legacy of writing about consciousness, the environment and finding meaning in life. If you click on @Coyote, you will be taken to his member page. Then click on Activity and you will see his posts, nearly 46 pages of posts over the past few years. His writing was as rare and exquisite as he was.
From the poet Hafiz:
"I have come into this world to see this: all creatures hold hands as we pass through this miraculous existence we share on the way to even a greater being of soul, a being of just ecstatic light, forever entwined and at play with Him."
Coyote, you are that being of ecstatic light now.
I miss you Coyote. You touched a lot of lives during your brief time with us. As always, I am sending you love and deep peace. We will meet again, my friend.
Thanks for letting us know. I had felt it was very close. What a magnificent soul. We're all feeling the loss. He will still be with us. Fly with the angels dear @Coyote ♥
Thanks for keeping us updated Jeanne.
It is incredibly sad that Coyote is no longer with us in the physical sense, and he did endure so much right until the end physically. He gave so much during his time here, and he certainly helped me at some of the worst of times with his wisdom when I was struggling. He also related very much to my past life regression experiences, my journey with my health and helping me to understand some of my dreams and visions. He even gave me some messages that he received from spirit in one of his dreams, with a lot of accuracy.
He truly was a remarkable person and he leaves behind a truly wonderful legacy of spiritual wisdom and writings, and I'm sure where he is now there is no more pain and suffering.
Right now his family need our prayers for support and healing. I am sure he would want that. Let us keep Coyote's family in our thoughts and prayers to help them at this difficult time in the best way we can.

“Consider what happens to a bottle of water when it is left in the freezer. As it cools down, there is a steady, continuous change in its temperature.
The water won’t change much in appearance until it begins to get near the critical threshold of its freezing point. Then, as it passes this, an extraordinary process happens.
Tiny crystals form, and when they do, other crystals form around those crystals, until there is a mass movement of crystallization in the water that rapidly changes state from liquid to solid. This is discontinuous change.
With discontinuous change, a threshold is crossed where rather than just more of the same happening, something different occurs. There’s a jump to a new level, an opening to a new set of possibilities.
We might think it impossible that a small amount of water could crack something as hard as glass, but as the ice expands, it breaks the bottle.“
Goodbye dear fellow traveler, our brilliant @coyote
You have cracked the bottle and broken free to the ultimate metamorphosis.
Gratitude and blessings for allowing us the great privilege of being with you for one tiny droplet of time in this both very personal, but often courageously public journey.
We will never forget you. You are and always will be, a deep part of each of us.
💜🕊💜
@michele-b Dear Michele, it is so nice to have you back tonight after so long. Thank you for such a meaningful message. Coyote read Joanna Macy, who was one of my teachers, and he incorporated some of her concepts into his writings. Did you know that, or was your post a beautiful connection with Coyote?
From the poet Hafiz:
"I have come into this world to see this: all creatures hold hands as we pass through this miraculous existence we share on the way to even a greater being of soul, a being of just ecstatic light, forever entwined and at play with Him."
Coyote, you are that being of ecstatic light now.
@bluebelle Thank you for your words and for Hafiz's words.
That was truly beautiful. That made me cry. The cracking of the bottle. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing that.
To Coyotes family I want to say he was a gift to our community.We will miss him very much.
My hope is that he is flying free and feels our love.
@jeanne-mayell Thank you for letting us know of Coyote’s passing. He was mature beyond his years and saw the world in a unique way that gave all of us hope and a new perspective on life and the universe. I am glad that his physical suffering is at an end but I have no doubt that his soul is alive and well. He was a cherished member of this community and will be missed very much. I send my most profound condolences to his family and friends during their time of mourning and healing.
It is still difficult to process this great and powerful emotions on hearing about Coyote today.
Deep feelings of which many you also have felt. Feelings which are so very difficult to express in written form, though I know Coyote would have done so in a profound and eloquent way.
Sometimes the best way I can describe a feeling is through music.
Adagio for Strings is one of the most exquisite pieces I have ever heard and over the past few years I have noticed that when I think of it, when it repeatedly pops into my head or I feel a strong pull to listen to the piece, it frequently means someone I know or admire is about to pass away.
A few nights ago, with the knowledge that Coyote would not be with us for much longer, I felt compelled to play my favorite rendition of it by The Vienna Philharmonic, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. As I sat on the couch listening to the melody, I found the music flow through me and I began "conducting" the piece. It was as if I was in my own little world. My hands seemed to move on their own accord and my heart was filled with love, a sorrowful joy ( is that even a thing?) and a warming light. I smiled and thought of Coyote smiling and rising higher and higher, floating back to earth and then rising higher and higher again. Just like the notes of the song.
I knew somehow he was with me in his in-between state, joining along. I felt his spirit, a warmth and joy joining in as I conducted, filling me with a deep beauty beyond describing.
I am so happy he can hear beautiful music once again and experience all the wonders of our world . I have no doubt Coyote will be sharing many messages with us over time. I am so grateful he found our forum and joined our tribe.
Samuel Barber wrote Adagio for Strings at the age of 26.
All of Coyote's insightful writings occurred before is 27th Birthday.
Synchroncity.
Coyote, you have left your mark upon the world and we are the better for it.

@lovendures that music was beautiful and cathartic. It hit a note of truth for me. And even the most painful feelings can be beautiful if they are truthfully expressed.
