I am offering prayers for the progress of his soul. -gw
There was a contemplative side to him as well. Dan Seals was a Baha’i, a member of a faith that believes in religious tolerance and in the spiritual unity of mankind.
“There’s a side of me that dreams and hopes for a better world,” Seals said. “I think with my heart. I believe that the people of our planet are all one family.”
Dan Seals died peacefully yesterday evening around 8:30 p.m. surrounded by family and friends.

Today, I am writing a post on my blog about Seals & Crofts, and I am reminded by your thoughtful post about Dan Seals, whose music was enjoyable for me in the 1990s.
As one who suffers from a progressive illness not as serious as Mr. Seals’ disease, we should always remember that suffering, although so difficul to bear that it sometimes tests our faith, it can be an opportunity to grow closer to our one true Creator.
It is sad that such a good, reflective man passed away, but let his legacy of a hope for a peaceful world continue to inspire many.
