Mourning the death of friends grndmthr + other friend’s moms 1 and 5 yrs ago while celebrating the birth of another friend’s new baby + my nieces’ graduation + numerous birthdays all in the same day… the maddening awe of the circle of life. And of course that barely scratches the surface. No logic no reason no rationality. No justice no fairness no that makes senseness. Just up and down isness. Our job seems to be just to accept and deal with it as elegantly and compassionately as humanly possible. Beneath every new birth or graduation there is the memory of a lost loved one, and vice versa. Congratulations and condolences remind us how precious and valuable, near miraculous, each moment of life is here now.
