A sequoia can live two thousand years. A squid has a four year life span. A mayfly, born with the dawn, is gone by dusk. Each life is a whole life, complete in itself. The quality of that life has nothing to do with its longevity, but everything to do with how it is lived.
- written by Barry Neil Kaufman, from 'A Blessing in Disguise' by Andrea Joy Cohen, M.D.
A beautiful passage from a book I'm reading through on grief and finding the joy in the passing of life. It is a collection of short stories that all are extremely powerful and healing. Each story helps bring new light to the grief of death and helps me deal with it better each day.
It is especially helpful now with the coming of winter, the memories of seasons past and knowing that the loved ones who helped me create those memories will not pass through here again in a physical form...
I miss them so much and think of them every day. The love I feel for them exists deep within and is a feeling far beyond mere words could ever describe.
