It's still difficult ... I hadn't realized how many reminders there were of Marjorie in my home, and I see them now more than ever. Thanks so much, Marti.

A dear friend of mine recently sent me this by Dawn Markova, author of I Will Not Die an Unlived Life:

Maybe it can bring comfort:

“I was a home, a sanctuary, a place to rest and nest the tiny carriers of seeds and possibilities which have broken open and flow on their own.

Now I have been abandoned, of necessity, so the next part of the cycle can emerge.

If you try and hold onto me past my time, I will crumble in your hands, because nothing can be permanent. All must change in form in nature. It is time to release your dreams, in faith to the world at large, and return.”

Blesings,
Marti
