It has always struck me - how fragile life can be - yet, we are persistently and inevitably reminded of our fallibility and ultimate demise. Sometimes, when losses are unbearably painful,we have to learn how to merge with the fullness of grief - the living with a memory - however dissonant or melodiously perfect. We learn constantly - constant gardeners of destiny and acceptance. We can learn from it all, accepting how life unfolds and truly LIVING as we learn. I hope you live, learn and love.
Today I am grateful for the poets, teachers and the artists who taught me how to truly see the world , to source from it the true meaning of ''being''.
Feast your eyes on some quotes, in memory of Maya Angelou - whose words will echo throughout eternity.
Big love - Teacher B
