It never escapes my attention that the fullness of love holds both life and loss.
How could it, when the life-giving joy of last night’s launch party was nestled between the loss of two extraordinary souls I had the honor to care for — in life, and into death?
While an either/or world feels simpler, we live in a both/and world — complex, mysterious, and endlessly generous — a gift upon gift to be unwrapped.
I can be joyful and sorrowful.
I can celebrate one life while mourning another.
I can feel the height and depth and breadth of love that moves through the multitude of people gracing my life — in all the ways love chooses to manifest.
In one moment, ecstasy.
In the next, ache.
And all the tender spaces in between.
In a world increasingly automated and efficient, the wild and wondrous glory of our human spirit can be so easily lost.
But not for me — not in these sacred days.
I hold close the memory of two who loved fiercely and lived fully.
And I celebrate those I continue to walk beside — as we live big, love big, and carry forward the healing work this world so deeply needs.
