Memories

Why, when looking at memories from our lives, do we mourn and not celebrate with gratitude the moments we shared with those we loved? It is misperception of loss, and not recognition of grace, that creates this disparity, and longing for when you felt most whole and in alignment with self, you were at your best and in closer presence to God. Allow more moments such as those that play in your mind and heart to manifest, and be open to connections you can’t currently imagine. That means shattering the shell that you have put around yourself to protect you from hurt and loss. With that shell nothing good can penetrate either, and reach you with an embrace. Never forget , but if you cry let those tears be of joy and thanks that you were blessed with those moments at all.
