This morning was a time for me to complete written correspondence....two notes of congratulations on high school graduations, and one of sympathy on the sudden death of a loved one, always so difficult to write. The irony was especially striking when going from one to the other. New beginnings vs. endings. Life taking flight for some and a journey's completion for someone else. Loved ones being left behind in either case.
"No straight lines make up my life;
And all my roads have bends;
There's no clear-cut beginnings;
And so far no dead-ends."
Harry Chapin, All My Life's a Circle
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." Dr. Seuss
Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.
