"Birth, life, death is a cycle. And they're all beautiful, you celebrate all of them. Animals do grieve, but they move on. That's the lesson behind animals." ~ Cesar Millan
This week I was reminded about how life begins, how it can end and how it continues on different fronts. Monday was back to school for many children in my area. It was precious to see the kids excitement while their mothers and fathers taking pictures were moved to tears with uncertainty as a new chapter began for all of them. I also learned about two friends who made their transition after a long and courageous battle with
cancer. I was moved by the outpouring of love and support for their family especially since one had a very young child. My Father turned 92 last month and it was great to speak with him as we chatted about baseball and our favorite teams. I am blessed to have our relationship and although it took many years, it bloomed after my Mother made her passage 25 years ago.
I am continually amazed yet not surprised by the Circle of Love contained within the Cycle of Life. Our journey continues showing us opportunities to embrace the life we have not
knowing when it will be end. Who can we reach out to with love and appreciation knowing how precious life can be? For those struggling with conflict in their lives whether it be with outer relationships or inner turmoil, just know that it is but a passing cycle in your life ready to be turned around. I invite you to look in the mirror and see the circle of love that surrounds and supports you. It's there if you can be open and receptive to it.
!n-joy!
