I met Lucas this summer 2022 in Taizé, France.
From the first interaction I had with him, I already knew that he was one of a kind. He always had a soul-touching stare, an innate interest for other people´s wellbeing and a sensitive heart. I feel greatly honoured to have shared a little bit of his lifetime with him, and I can wholeheartedly say he has been an essential part of mine. He offered me a safe space in moments of dispair, and I will always be thankful for the warmth of his heart.
It is not a coincidence that my last conversation with Lucas was on a Sunday in Taize, where I asked him what someone must do with happy memories once they are gone, when it seems that one cannot do nothing with them. As always, he stared deeply into my soul, with those beautiful eyes, and after a moment of silence, he answered: "You cherish them greatly, hold on to them day to day, and make sure that you know where happiness comes from, where it lies deep within you, because the happiness of your past, is also part of the happiness of your present". And so, I feel terribly devasted, but also greatly fortunate to have shared a connection with Lucas, beacuse he was part and is still, part of my happiness as a person.
I believe that he has already found peace (because he was indeed, a very peaceful person), and I believe he is still present with me, in the air I breathe, the tip of the trees I see and on the edge of the clouds when the sun hits them. I believe Lucas now hides in everything that is beautiful in the world.
In Taizé there is a song that says (in Spanish): "El alma que anda en amor, ni cansa, ni se cansa", which translated to English: "The soul that walks in love , neither tires nor gets tired".
And so I believe, that such a soul that walked in so much love, can never die because it never gets tired, it never stops loving.
My heart goes to Willem, Petra and Tara. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts, and I hope you can find also find peace.
I love you Lucas, more than this words could ever try to explain. See you in our next life.
