It gets busier before the completion of most projects. That final push to put the pieces all together, to control all the elements, to get what we desire. 

Then we rest, admiring our work.

Until we pop up to do something else.

What’s the rush?

Absorb your accomplishments; share them with friends and family to enjoy – and rest a spell together.

Am I getting philosophical again? You bet.

There has been another death of a friend who was way too young to just not wake up one morning. The circle of friends struggling with cancer is ever growing. And, I am spending my spare time downsizing and getting rid of STUFF. 

The realization that I have NO spare time on earth, and I will not be taking the STUFF with me, ultimately, is now pressing anew on my mind. 

The only thing we keep is love – not stuff.

I am longing to be on serious vacation mode which will start with the completion of my big change of location and downsizing project. Going to love big, relax big, and travel big then.

But what if I never get there?

There are many options each day with many things requiring our attention. But friends, WE need attention; and that LOVE which will last forever needs to grow stronger as we reach out to others.

The time will come when our arms are empty of loved ones, but our hearts should be FULL of our mutual LOVE. 

Love never dies, but its shape and form changes over time and dimension.

May we not let this day pass without strengthening those love bonds – first, to ourselves and then to others. 

We are enough just the way we are – right now – love and acceptance of self comes first.

Hopefully we can feel the love ties of those gone before us as we turn to remembrances of their love and wisdom. Then we should build up the ties with those around us today.

So, of all the plates that we try to keep spinning each day, find the one labeled LOVE and keep that one spinning brightly.
