Whenever you feel like
criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't
had the advantages that you've had. [F. Scott Fitzgerald]
Sometimes I simply don’t understand myself. MayBE I don’t
always need to though. MayBE it’s enough that I think about it and am willing
to try.
I’ve been noticing my critical side[s?!] seem to BE on a
holiday. I canNOT see what’s “wrong” with other people so much as I once [and
for a long while] did. MayBE I’m kidding myself, but it really feels like it’s
just “gone.”
Nothing in life is to
be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so
that we may fear less. [Marie Curie]
Somedays I don’t recognise the fear in me. Instead, it
bullies and pushes at me, interrupting my intention to BE someone who is open
to Life. When I DO “see” it, I learn. And for me, learning is what Life’s all
about.
We must know the pain
of loss; because if we never knew it, we would have no compassion for others,
and we would become monsters of self-regard, creatures of unalloyed
self-interest. [Dean Koontz, The Darkest Evening
of the Year]
When loss is imminent, each breath feels deep and intricate.
Every moment so very essential.
I love you, Currie

Yes, when it comes to life and death so much else moves to the back burner or totally off your radar. It's a gift to have true perspective on what's important. You find out so many things you thought were...weren't. The ordinary shines and glows and sings to you. :)
