Dear Paulette, I am very sorry to hear of this terrible loss. I can only imagine the grief that must be coursing through your community right now. Prayers for endurance in the face of all we cannot understand. Xoxo

I especially appreciated the beautiful flowers in your garden, reminding me that we are all flowers in God’s garden.

I am sitting in my morning meditation and spiritual readings still reeling from emotions evoked last night in attending a memorial for my dear friend’s granddaughter, Josy, who died in a fiery car crash with 4 other friends. She was a sophomore in high school and a shooting star of a soul who burned brightly in her life, as was so well spoken by her family and friends. It was an achingly beautiful and heartbreaking memorial.

Your posts and connections across our states touches me reminding me that we are all connected and life is brief, cherish the moments. Your posts reminds me of that.
Again, thank you and all of the others who post comments, very comforting and powerful.

Prayers and love to all,
Paulette (here in California)

Thank you. The concept, photos, and book recommendation are all timely and appreciated as I prepare to take off the first summer in over 30 years. I will be paying attention to the microseasons in Delaware, and those within my body and soul. xox=D
