Today I grieve, today I celebrate, today I question, today words seem so inadequate and yet I feel the need to write. Oh the contradictions of life on this earth. I grieve today. I grieve lives taken too soon.
This mornings email from a friend about the death of her soul mate, has shaken me.
I celebrate with my friend as she reflects on her best friend/husbands death when she says she will live fully for both of them, when she states I can do it ( and I KNOW she can!).
I grieve.
Sliding doors, those doors that invite us to step carefully, thoughtfully with abandon into life. Those doors that challenge us to open them as we take another risk on love, on life when all else seems hopeless.
Those doors greet me daily and sometimes I notice them, sometimes I jump aside, sometimes I step in with enthusiasm, somedays I do not even notice that they are there.
Today I feel a renewed call to noticing, a renewed call to loving, to living in the now, in all the risky ways the spirit calls me to respond.
Today, I grieve with gratitude.
