this picture, taken on Mt St Helen’s, represents grief and grief’s resolution… so much was lost here 35 years ago and  i love and am so grateful for all the beauty and joy at Harmony Point… may it be so for all grieving…

grief is an ocean ebbing and flowing,

at times overwhelming, other times still.

grief is a winding valley,

 at times an arid desert, other times a blossoming field.

grief is a river bending and turning

suffering our illusion of life’s course remaining the same.

grief is re-membering

the beauty, joy, love and gratitude

of what was and celebrating that so it is forever.
