Today is the day between these anniversaries.
A day between love and grief. Like most days.
Shall we?
1.
No matter how deeply you love, if you are lucky enough to have that love for a while, you will take it for granted sometimes. Forget how deep it really is. Get annoyed, wonder if it is all worth it. Of course you will because love holds everything. Love is still there, even when the emotions and snarls of life are in the forefront. When it comes to the fore again, it
will surprise and yet not surprise you with its warmth and comfort.
2.
If you love deeply, grief will come visiting. It will stay too and it will feel as if it is squeezing the breath out of you. You will add an extra room to the mansion of your
heart and it will move in. At first you will think you can not bare its presence, but over time you will come to appreciate how it tends to your forgotten memories and beloveds no longer here.
3.
Most days are like this day, in between the two. Love flowing gently, grief flowing
tenderly, each connecting you to what is meaningful and dear, even when that is changing or moving on.
4.
Both love and grief have space for the flow of life and all the things that includes. Love has us able to survive the crush of raw grief, and our grief honors the eternal nature of love
never dulled by time.
Are they easy? Not always. But, I am grateful my heart, and yours, knows how to grow to make space for whatever both call us to.

A blessing for your week:
