The weight of it.... I said goodbye to my husband at about 4 am this morning. Not face to face. Not on the telephone. Not connected in any way. On Google Chat. The wonders of modern communication fall a wee bit short for me this morning. I typed in a few explanatory messages, and then Goodbye, Sheen, pushed Send, and it is done... I walked through our home, stepped into every room, and slowly, silently took into my soul every memory of every moment he touched the space. And then I went outside and lifted my arms to the night sky, and pulled the air in and up through my body in a series of deep breaths, up through the top of my head, and Released him to the Universe. Today my companion is a bittersweet emotion of profound Love and Sorrow on a level I did not know one could feel. “Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.” But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.” “Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.” “Your joy can fill you only as deeply as your sorrow has carved you.” ― Khalil Gibran Namaste
