Thomas L. "Tom" Botsford

Interesting that Tom's memory has been popping into my awareness of late. His passing on to new conscious adventures was about ten years ago. Time moves quickly. Reading everyone's memories added to our heart connection. Namaste/Namaskar dear friend.

That Thou Art (Tat Tvam Asi)
"Svetaketu, my dear boy, have you inquired about that Entity by means of which even that which is not heard about becomes heard, even that which is not reflected upon become reflected upon, and even that which is unknown becomes known?" I followed Tom and Alex to Ithaca and sat behind them in long meditations just to soak up the vibrations....I remember his most gentle expression and kindness. My attraction to you was an integral part of this life....our...

Mary Jo and I spent a good deal of time with Tom and crew in Ithaca when we all shared a house together in search for higher being. He also stayed with us in Northern California for a short time. I never remember Tom without an upbeat attitude and smile. We especially enjoyed Tom's presence and mirth with the rest of the "house" during their weekly visits to our home to watch the original "Kung Fu" series. Tom, may your heart an Spirit soar!

I was on that school bus with Tom traveling across country searching for ourselves. We had experiences in India and Ithaca. May your next life be as adventurous.

Tom, Alex and Janet showed me higher consciousness. Tom was a mirthful margical untroubled Yoda. Alex flew above the rest of us. Janet full of heart. Thank you for the learnings.

We are very sorry to hear about the lost of Bens stepdad our prayers go out to him and the family

Tom shared his life with my cousin Marion Mumford and created a home with her son Ben. The love they shared and the way they lived that love has built a community where Tom's spirit will remain alive and where the light in his eyes, the warmth of his smile and his many gifts to the community will continue to be experienced and remembered. May the gift that is Tom and the love he shared with Marion continue to be shared and kept alive with the way the community of their friends and family tell...

Tom was one of those people who I figured would always be around. Such a steady, dependable soul. I could always count on Tom for unbiased advice and perspective; something that I find to be in woefully short supply. I am deeply saddened by Tom's passing, but am happy to have known someone as real and consistent over so many years.
