Like so many true, deep things, I think that this type of worldview is indeed both a blessing and a curse. I’m constantly aware of the impermanence of things, too. On one hand, it pushes me to live a life full of joy and wonder. On the other, it can be overwhelming and exhausting. Push and pull. Push and pull.

Hi Christine,
What you describe reminds me of my own sense of the frailty of life. The better things are the more do I feel how fragile everything is. And this is especially true for the people I love, my husband in particular. I know that in the past I have not allowed myself to love fully because there is always this subtle fear of loss. These days I try to be more brave with it and it’s not easy. Reading words like yours helps a lot. Thank you.
Fondly,
Kerstin xo

Oh you ice-cream girlies!! Now i feel like having a float… or a milkshake even! Aiiii my darling, swirly. One thing I know will stay forever: And that is my true love and friendship ~ all yours ~ transicending time and space! (But of course I know what you mean… I dwell on that far too much myself). Love that dream you had about us! Let’s make it happen. You and me ~ somewhere out there being wild and whole! xxox

Your thoughts have validity and soundness. I used to feel this way…but facing cancer and surviving it…and counting each day the blessing I am given, I no longer fret or worry about what will be or will not be. I simply accept with grace and thanks and realize the true value of everything I have, everything I am, everything I am given.

Beautifully expressed. Its so very hard to remember that we don’t have an endless amount of time to really love the people we love and that there is an end to it at some point does indeed make it seem silly to hold any last sliver of love back. Thank you for the reminder.
