Cody's passing breaks my heart. I'm grateful that I met her, but wish the time was longer. Cody was patient and compassionate, providing a steadying influence to Schoodic Institute. I wish all of you the best.
Dearest Eliza and family,
I am so saddened by your loss. I will reach out to you in the coming days but know that your love for Cody was beautifully shared through your own lives and how joyfully you have engaged the world. Cody leaves a wonderful legacy in you.
With love,
Jamie
I am so appreciative of keeping us updated Alexi and sharing this heartbreaking news. You write beautifully and poignantly even within what must be overwhelming loss. Walter and I read this just as we were ready to relinquish our phones during a 4 day silent retreat which we completed yesterday. The retreat focused on seeing clearly and cultivating loving kindness in our lives. We were in a beautiful place and much of my practice focused on sending metta to Cody as she transforms, and to all of you as you grieve. I also spent time with my own grief in loosing such a vibrant friend of over 30 years. Cody was an amazing person. She somehow had a special and unique balance of science and art, pragmatism and mystery. Now she moves from movement to stillness. I think the unifying concept that created this magical integration was her connection to the natural world. She understood the biology well, but also the heartfelt transcendence there. It was in that heartfelt space during my outside walking meditations that I, like you, felt most connected to Cody last weekend. I send all of my love to you all. May you have ease in your hearts. With Metta, Wendy
Once upon a time I planted blueberry sod and hay scented ferns at a beautiful place near the ocean and a day later returned to find it torn asunder and dragged out on the beach into the water. I returned to begin again and met a girl and a boy and their very bad strong willed chessi dogs (who were the culprits ) and began a friendship I had hoped would last our lifetimes. I have had the great pleasure of knowing Cody since she and Christian and their dogs were visiting their family home on the island and have loved her from those first moments of meeting her, recognizing a true adventurer and woman of intelligence and compassion. I can still hear her laugh which was always part of a conversation and my mind and heart are so filled with memories of her as she became a mother, one that inspired me and was absolutely epic in her love of her daughters and her quest to give them wings . Seeing her as a partner and family member I witnessed the fiercest of devotion and the most amazing sensitivity, she stunned me with her ability to focus and initiate action. I loved being in her presence if only for a minute, the brightness and glow she brought to many days we shared contact on will live in my memory as the sun cutting through the fog. oh Hudson River girl, island girl, mountain walker, traveler through days, I wish you freedom for your journey to wherever your spirit has sailed to. Your beloveds are formed by what you forged and inspired, they will be carriers of light as you were. Beautiful woman, knowing you was a gift.
Nancy Crowe sent me this site. I saw Cody 13 months ago on the ferry dock in Northeast. We had not connected for a long time and it was great to see her. Same busy, energetic Cody. Nancy has kept me informed as to what has has happening in the last months. I am so, so sorry and still can't quite believe it. I have many fond memories of all our adventures at the Bay School and beyond...skiing, hiking, a trip to New York. It is a geat comfort to know she had family and close friends around her at the end. The best possible comfort for her.
My heart is heavy but my memories are so sweet and beautiful. I will miss our outdoor adventures , Cody’s. spirit & energy will be with me always. I am happy she is at peace
I will bring food , support and love to her family whenever needed.
Hugs xo Ali
