Memorial Day 2011, this weekend I have been remembering my step-dad, Jim alot. Mostly about how funny he could be. We definitely had our differences growing up, but what I was remembering this weekend is how funny he could be, how many people liked him, what good care he took of my mom when she was sick, and how much he loved her.
I have also remembered Lockport and our friends there, they are not gone from this world, but are gone from my world on a regular basis, and I still miss that life I had there. I have lost many people and many things in the past decade. I think that is part of my life's work these days, letting go gracefully, or just letting go.
The other part of my life's work is learning harmony and unity within while setting boundaries with others without. The latter will create harmony on the outside. To live an undivided life where I understand who I am both light and shadow, and to live life with others without violating that knowing. Love, compassion, acceptance all around....
