As I write these words on Thursday
morning one of my daughters is at the birth center in active labor,
getting ready to welcome a tiny new person into the world. A month
ago my mom took her last breath surrounded by love as she slipped
into the embrace of Love Eternal. And now a first breath is about to
be taken, surrounded by love in the presence of Love Eternal. This
life we live is such a remarkable mixture of experiences. Life and
death co-mingle as they swirl around us. Grief and joy reside
together in our hearts. It is the package deal that comes with the
gift of being human. And all of it, every single breath, every single
moment, every single experience, all of it unfolds in the presence
of Love Eternal. I invite you to live this day with an open heart so
that you might receive and experience the fullness of this amazing
gift.

the flow)
