Love: Lost and Found

I've been thinking a lot about loss this week.

It's everywhere;

a movie,

a song,

my memories.

A reminder,

that while I am blessed,

I will also endure a devastating loss.

Change transforms the soul,

and the bad has to balance the good,

but these are the lessons I've always struggled with my entire life.

All of us retain a childlike flicker.

One that is snuffed out over time.

Part of our humility,

is acceptance.

Acceptance of the unknown,

acceptance of ignorance,

and acceptance of our own mortality.
