A Thing of Beauty
Greetings~
I was at a birthday party this weekend and in the midst all of the
chaos and other assorted “goodies” that go on at a gathering I witnessed
something beautiful. “Rick” and “Rhonda”- I am not sure when they got divorced
or when he remarried, I do remember the necessity of two baby showers when
grandchild number one came along because….well I am sure you get where that is
going. Today I saw two people who once upon a time loved one another (and I am
sure in a special way they still do), got married, created a family come
together for just a moment. We can always do cordial- at least we have managed
to for the last 7 years or so, but today it was a coming together. Both have
recently lost family, but today we come together for a celebration of life. He
walks towards her, that woman he was once married to, that he created a family
with and he embraces her. I am uncertain of the words that were exchanged, but whatever
the case it was a thing of beauty. A moment of comfort. A moment of love. A
moment of friendship. A moment to learn from. Forgiveness and letting go.
“Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it
cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a
moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.” -Barbara
de Angelis
After all is said and done, and the bitterness
fades away-two people can sit back with pride in WHAT they created. This
family-this big beautiful wonderful AMAZING family!
Cherish each day and give thanks.
Love and Light,
