Robert J. Metcalfe Jr.

Just saw this posting on Face book. My sympathy for his family & friends. I worked with him @ N.H. He was a kind soul, who everyone liked & he took excellent care of the clients. My he rest in peace.

Looking Back

Moments flash fleetingly; then dissolve.
What effect each memory imprints in my cells is a mystery.
Who I am exists only for this instant.
Yet this body records my history on hypersensitive film.
The illusion is the film's reality.
All past imprints are ghostly vapors pretending
to be real.


Boomerang Spirit

The body is the sacred temple of the soul.
As it burns, boomerang spirit is flung into ocean fog.
Thru adult...

Rob was a member of our Creative Writing Group in Marlborough. He was a very talented poet, and a kind, gentle generous person. He will be missed.

Into the Wind

Some day I shall forget it all and
Dive into the wind.
I'll fly away above it all where
Memories rescind.
A fresh clean worldno worry,
Hurt or pain.
Free to fall through space and time,
Till all is new again.

I am very sorry to hear about Rob's passing. I recently moved to Brooklyn, NY but lived in Willimantic, CT for many years and was a member of the meditation group Rob attended. I always liked him. He was warm and kind. He was very open about his struggles and showed tremendous courage and resilience. I always appreciated his presence and what he chose to share with us. I'm sorry that I won't get to see him again.

My condolences to his family and loved ones.

I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Rob. I have worked with Rob these past few years and will never forget our talks about music, his recent travels, and about his cat whom he loved dearly. Rest in peace my friend!

Pam and Jeff- please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your brother. As a classmate, I remember Rob and his gentle soul. May he find eternal rest and may warm memories comfort your hearts.
