“Seek and see all the marvels around you. You will get tired of looking at yourself alone, and that fatigue will make you deaf and blind to everything else.”
- Carlos Castaneda - Don Juan
Maybe we'll percieve something as hard and frightening one day, maybe the same thing will become a marvel the next day, upon understanding its meaning . May we all have the wisdom and power to navigate these troubled waters. But as winter's cold can harden and separate, so shall the spring melt and vaporize the ice, to nourish our souls.
We all have all these seasons inside of us, the hidden treasures which keep us going.
Prometeo, I think your family member had the power of choosing when to step out...consider it as his/her wish and accept it with love and treasure his/her memory. For those left behind is a painful blow, but do you remember about the timeless contemplation, fun and joy which are waiting there for those departed? I think, is the best one can hope for.
Joy...to the World!
