Day 99 and Counting

It’s just day 99 of 2024
and already i am pouring libations
and remembering those whose work here is done.
Some of these people I was closer to then others,
but I knew them all,
had memories with them all,
needed time to grieve them all.

Some I am still grieving.
some died earlier in the year then others
and some just died.
Some I am still struggling to even say
they are dead,
but they are.
Grieving, like living,
is a process
and I will do both
until my time and my work
is done.
For now, I count each day I am alive
and celebrate the lives and the legacy
of those who are not.

What Did I Do?

What Did I Do?

Having lost 4 friends in the last week,
I have been thinking about my own death.
I even saw my own funeral.
Recently I was challenged to think about
what others might say
when I died.
It made me think about
what I have done.
How am I living my life?
What did I do?
What am I doing?
I may not be able to
do anything about
the legacy I have created
up to now,
but I can begin now to
create the legacy
I want to leave behind.
So that when I die,
others will say
they remember me
for always being loving,
positive,
inspiring,
motivating and kind.
They will say
I made time for them.
I respected their intelligence.
They will say I was an overcomer.
I believed in my own dreams
and I worked hard to achieve them.
What did I do?
I loved,
I listened,
I cared,
I believed,
I wrote from my heart.
I taught how to apply
theory to reality.
I was present,
I gave from my heart,
I was who I was created to be,
and encouraged others to
do the same.
this is what I did
and what I will continue to do.
What do you want others to say about you
and what you did?

Little Deaths and Births

Little Deaths and Births

It was Alice Walker who once said,
“it is never the same river twice.”
and it’s not.
The same spot in the river
may look the same,
but the soil is different,
the water is different,
everything about that spot is different,
even when it looks the same.
We are that way too.
We may look like the same person
but we are never the same person
at any two seconds in time,
our cells are different.
They are constantly dying and
new ones being reborn.
We are inhaling new
and exhaling old.
We are constantly growing and evolving.
We are in a constant state
of death and resurrection.
it is not a once year event,
but an ongoing process
we are all engaged in.
Our lives are full of daily
little deaths and births.
As a scripture says
“I am about to do a new thing,
did you see it.”
Do you see the little deaths and births in your life?
They just happened,
did you see them?

It is Done

It Is Done

This past week,
people, plants, horses, cats, dogs,
and other creations of the Ultimate
have transcended to another realm.
As I celebrate their lives and legacies,
I am reminded their purpose here
has been fulfilled.
Their departure may not have been
on my time line or yours,
but once they have completed
their purpose,
it is time for them to move on, because their time here
is done.
I try to remember this
when I think about those I have lost
and those I am losing.
When I wake up I remember,
I have not yet completed my purpose here on earth.
The Ultimate is not done with me yet
and if you woke up this morning,
you have not completed your purpose yet either.
May we all continue to be of service,
being loving and kind with others,
until the Ultimate says,
it is done

Learning from Death

There is not a day that goes by
that something in our lives does not die.
Sometimes it is people,
or our furbabies,
a situation,
a relationship,
or a belief.
We may like to believe
that life and death are separate,
but they are like partners
in a a dance.
Death touches our lives
sometimes it cuts us
like a knife.
Other times there is
a complexity of feelings
like a bottle of wine.
Sometimes, we are grateful to let go,
but at the same time,
we feel the pain
which comes with the death.
In all of it we know,
that what it was existed,
for a season,
a purpose,
and taught us
what we needed to learn
before it left us.
In the midst of it all,
it taught us about
the mysteries of life,
love,
learning,
and death.

Inspirations

Every month,
every day
someone leaves us
to live in a different space.
Friends, family members, and furbabies
have died before us

The older we get,
the more we experience people
 leaving before us, and
leaving us behind.

I miss those who have gone,
but in their own ways
they live on.
They exist in our memories.
Their spirits exist in our remembering them.
Their wisdom and lessons taught
continue to inspire us
in this day and those to come.

FEAR

False
Evidence
Appearing
Real

Fear can eat away
at who we are
and what we believe.
It can slowly eat away
at our heart and soul
as if we are dying inside

Face
Everything
And
Rise

Faith can set us free
from the fears
the world tries to feed us
so face them
and rise
instead of die.
