Rhythm of the World

In the early days, when the grief is so raw and you trust nothing, especially your own emotions, you feel the change of rhythm and think you are imaging it. You question every move you make, every thought you have. You question it because you believe it is grief that has changed your perspective. You are right, it is the grief.

As You Grieve What Should Your Purpose Be?

You don't need a grand calling for your mission or purpose. Sufficient to the moment is to develop a fundamental intention to seek and give happiness, service and compassion. Your purpose may never be to be a knight in shining armor saving a kingdom, rather your simple purpose may be fundamental happiness, peace of mind, health and longevity. It is your reason for getting up in the morning.

Times of Darkness

It is written on my heart now. The pain, the loss, the sorrow. All of it etched so deeply, it has become a part of this life I now live. I find that it is not a 'new normal' for so much of the old is still there. The grief is an added extension that stays without invitation.
