"Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides." --Lao Tzu
When Gratitude Holds Hands with Grief
Whether we acknowledge it or not, every day we stand at the door of death and life. They walk hand in hand. We can't have one without the other, and this is perhaps why Elaine Mansfield could feel both grief and gratitude on the day of her husband's crossing over. She was able to hold in one hand the mystery of loving another human being deeply and being full of gratitude for having shared all that life offered her in that experience, and knowing when it was time to let him go on without her. From this place of deep peace, we can learn from Elaine that life is about living with love in this moment and embracing the gift that this offers even in death.
BE THE CHANGE
Open yourself to gratitude today by having courage and allowing yourself to see how closely life and death walk together as partners in the gift of life.
