This was input into our Dead note file by JJRitz. "We now return our souls to the creator, and as we stand on the edge of eternal darkness, let our chant fill the void, that others may know: in the land of the night, the ship of the sun is drawn by the grateful dead." I believe this is from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, translation by Evans-Wentz. It may be from the Egyptian Book of the Dead; I have read through same without finding it, though. (E.A. Wallis Budge translation.) The quote comes from Ken Kesey in an article in the "Last Supplement to the Whole Earth Catalog", published in the early 70's. -JJRitz- "...decvax!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-belker!stanley" Dave Stanley
