Loss & Release



Good morning. I feel obliged to share this short poem and prayer I wrote on 'loss'. Because we all go through hard things, and we can all relate to the difficulties and healing that go along with them. We're all human, after all.

Look back in fond memory and forward with hope.  

It's difficult to loose someone. It's difficult to see the whole thing, being helpless to change the outcome. It's difficult to wake up, confused and asking questions about what happened. It's difficult to be a survivor when your friend didn't make it. It's difficult to hear friends breaking down on the phone with the news you had to tell. It's difficult to clear the haze of that day and pick up reality again.  It's difficult to bear the heaviness.  
 
We understand, we relate, we feel.  

...and know that...
It's alright. You will be ok. You will live on. You will grow strong from this. You were renewed your gift of life. You will become closer to those who care for you. You will reach out for more support. You will share your love more fully and vibrantly everyday. You will grow a whole new appreciation for being alive. You have this gift of life. 

We understand, we relate, we feel. 

Look back in fond memory and forward with hope.

Have a beautiful day loving life!

Como el sol y la lluvia ...

Timothy M. Marston

Como el sol y la lluvia …
como el fuerte sol cusqueño
(que brilla y quema)
se convierte a la lluvia intensa
(que llora, que refresca)
viene y va otro año.

Como el sol y la lluvia,
al final del año representa
la extensión de todos sentimientos
que hemos experimentado y sufrido.
De los intensos momentos de tristeza y conflictos,
los lindos recuerdos de sonrisas y palabras felices,
un gran lección que aprendemos es que todo se cambia.

Un año acaba, recordándome que ya es tiempo
de reflexionar y agradecer…
a todas las hermosas almas que conozco,
las que me enseñan,
las que me inspiran.
Gracias a las compañeras de trabajo,
a mis alumnos,
a mi familia (no tan lejos de corazón),
a los amigos y viajeros irreemplazables
que han cruzado en mi camino con tanta elegancia.

Y en un minuto, aun segundos se transforma en algo nuevo.
Como un viento furioso se apaga una vela y se enciende una nueva.
Un nuevo año de sol y lluvia ...


Feliz año nuevo, que todo se transforma 
en algo nuevo y aun más bonito.
