“You don’t get over it, you get through it.  It doesn’t get better, it gets different.  Every day, just like me, grief puts on a new face.”  -Unknown

And yet, there are moments of pure bliss, like stars in the night sky.  Like this:

Moonrise over Belgrade. Music: Tchaikovsky – Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom.

You are not alone.

ps 22apr2020:  Meant to add music, as promised.  This song, “Don’t Wait” by Addison Road was release in 2010, but when I listened to this song tonight, it felt like it a letter to the future we’re living today.

Daisy, give yourself away
Look up at the rain
The beautiful display
Of power and surrender
Giving us today, and
She gives herself away

-Jon Foreman

I realize I used this photo two years ago, but this is my favorite daisy photo of all time (so far).  I added the stars.

I remember when daisies grew by the railroad tracks in our small New Jersey town every June.  But now they bloom in November in another town only 40 miles south under my pear tree (Wish).

We’ve been having a great discussion on the KindSpring.org KarunaVirus Challenge about having a heart of service.  It seems we agree: helping others feel happy, safe, joyful, well and loved is #1.  Since I can remember, I’ve felt this way. Now I have an entire tribe who feels this way.

Through your love
existence and nonexistence merge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane
becomes sacred again.
-Rumi

I hope you’ve enjoyed this “sacred” week.  Several years ago, a friend posted an “Ego List” on her page.  Ego does this, Ego does that.  It seemed a bit judgy to me, though I know she didn’t mean it that way.   I should probably say, it gave my inner critics lots of ammo.  *smirk*  I wondered to myself, “What is the opposite of ‘ego?” and came up with the phrase “sacred self.”  Then I made this video Ego vs. Sacred Self set to the music of Joe Satriani, one of my favorite musicians.  So, when my Cacophony Chorus started up, I put this on and calmed it right down.

 

Cheers to a beautiful weekend.
