Beautiful. My husband died and we are having a memorial service with his ashes at church soon. (Father’s Day weekend.)😒

Then, where? We live very near to Lake Michigan and that is one thing we are thinking about. I am going to share this with my children.

Sorry for your loss Pam. Lake Michigan sounds like it would be a lovely spot - hope you find what feels right πŸ’—

Blessings and much love to you and your dad, Satya.

And thank you for sharing these words with such tenderness which I will hold tight as I move into the wave/s of another Monday.

As to your question:

"How do you flinch away from impermanence and how might it instead become a gift that brings you closer to love?"

I might be an apostate (I probably am), but I have moved closer to death in these passing years, and there has been an avowed acceptance that I am a very different man from the one that started out with such ambition some 40 years ago.

For me, God is in everything, and everything is in God (see Ethics by Spinoza) and in that space I have no fear of passing from this world to wherever is next.

Take care, Julian

I know that grief when they are gone from our sight

That missing energy we feel

How do you relieve a friend’s pain who’s so far away?

We can’t fix grief

For you my friend
