We seem to be going through a "season of grief" in our family. My Mothers older sister passed away in May of this year and now my Fathers youngest sister is gravely ill. This inevitably leads to thinking of the passing of our parents' generation and how it all seems to be happening at once and what lessons are to be gleaned from this "season of grief".
This morning I recieved an email from a young cousin that helped comfort me in the wee hours of the morning. It strongly reminded me that Life was happening, that the circle of Life was fulfilling itself, that as our sources of comfort and sage advice were aging and dying, the younger generation was boldly marching in to take their rightful places within the circle and to offer words of wisdom and comfort to us.
My young cousins email contained this quote,"By choosing to find the benefit in every experience, every experience becomes a blessing".
