A year ago today Jim died. It seems longer ago than that - and also like it was yesterday.
The year that followed Jim's death has been marked by other deaths of friends and family members. It causes one to pause and think.And to be grateful for happy memories to sustain us until we meet again.
But reflection also reminds us of so many new beginnings that have come with the passing year.
A favorite Carol Lynn Pearson poem talks about birth and death being all about position,
"Birth and death, near and far, it all depends on where you are."
It's important to focus on "where you are" and to embrace it fully.

It occurred to me after I posted about Keli's mom that it had been just about a year since Jim had died. You're right, it seems like longer than a year and yet much less.
i love that CLP poem as well - as well as others.
and it is odd that it seems longer than a year, and also much shorter.
