The ride today was in memory of William J. Hughes. My ride today from Priest River, ID to Libby, MT began with a heavy heart, as Uncle Bill died last night from complications from pneumonia. Uncle Bill was a pilot, social worker, politican, and lobbyist and was a person who enjoyed being in the air and on the water. To me, he was always looking for ways to increase his effectiveness and his impact on the world around him. He encouraged me try and do things I might be hesitant to try.
As I rode along side the Ponderay River and Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho, I saw several eagles soaring over the water and thought about and focused on Bill. As he is making the transition from the Physical world to the Spiritual realm, I believe he was with the eagles soaring above me in such a beautiful and magnicifent setting.
I ended the ride with my Spirit uplifted as I truly believe Uncle Bill is Soaring with the eagles.
Thank you Bill Hughes, your memory and legacy will live forever!
