Loss creates life or at least new beginnings. I have been reminded of this more than once this week oddly enough. Although I know all things come to an end and new creation must occur on the death of what came before I cannot help but lobby for continuance and the absence of change.
Loss occurs every day in moments both mundane and profound. Hair cells, skin cells, plaque, bugs, darkness, light, projects and people. It has been said "the only constant is change". Many times the change is subtle sometimes dynamic with a crash. Sometimes with a quiet breath that no one notices. The only difference is the air has an aroma of forgotton perfume, the smell of ozone, the odor of failure. All we know instinctively is something is diminished. What is remarkable is that the building up is already occuring whether we recognize it or not. Whether we accept it or not.
These things, these beginnings will continue whether we are ready to accept them or not. All we can hope for is that we can eventually breathe that new air, relish that new perfume or love again.
