The cycles of nature teach us about life–a part of which is death. We can learn to let go, to release our being into the universe, to recycle our atoms and our energy as part of our planet’s breath. We can learn to live after the death of someone close to us, to know that they, too, are part of all that is around us.
At this time of year when cultures around the world celebrate the ancestors, remember someone you would like to carry in your heart today.
Always, my mom, Jane Ohmer Jones, on this, her birthday.
And always, Marjorie Bowens-Wheatley.
Among so many others.
