What might you learn to live without, and why?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 25, 2008:
Most of what we end up living without occurs through no control of our own. Just as the sun rises ... it also sets. Fleeting moments of life appear and then sink back into the soup of energy that they came from.
Over the past two to three years I have learned to live without family. I have lost my mother, father, sister and brother and many friends all through various ways. Some have been through death, diseases such as strokes, and others are just parting of ways.
each of these losses opens up room for new people to appear and reflect a part of me that I can enjoy exploring. And for those great friends and family that I have lost... I know their endless echo as it deepens this life.
Is not every moment a coming and a going, a gain and a loss?
I await the sunshine and dance in the darkness... being the space of both.

Gosh I love the mind state with which you approach such aspects of existence. It's very flowing and fluent. I'm sure it helps to deal with the challenges when they approach and any fallout as it passes.
In some ways it does make you see life more greatly when pieces of you get scattered along the way through loved ones passing. It's been an eye opener for me actually.
Thanks for posting Michael. sherri

thanks Aley and Sherry. Couple of things I have noticed. Remember when you were in your twenties and everyone was getting married, then they were all having kids. Well now I guess I am also at that age where parents and family are all drifting apart. My family was never strong due to devorce etc… so when the parents died.. that was it the gig was over. My wifes family is very strong and a recent experience of her mother having a stroke has pulled them together.
I dont want to spoil it for anyone but this event will so much deepen the family relationship with each other and produce such meaningful tears. “love” will be a household name in this experience.
Wise, really wise. Again, love your perspective. Please keep sharing with the community.
If you are a pod person, we'd love to hear from you in Power of Light and People Potential. It's always nice to get diverse perspectives such as yours in discussions.
Thanks again. sherri
it is extremely hard to lose people through death as well as just loss in general. A parting of ways as you say. It happens. You never forget these people. They leave their imprint on you. touched forever in some way. I think of it like a book you never finish. That loss. The characters are still in your memory but you wonder what ever happened to them.
yes the story of life. I have re touched base with many friends that I lost touch with to find that their story has continued and they are the same person essentially. As far as those who pass yes… very tough.. and imprints… so true.
