Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My cousin just sent me a youtube video of a silly song he likes.  His father just died, and I'm worried about my daughter, but life goes on, and we grab the joy as well as swim through the sorrow.  Life is a gift, and he hasn't forgotten that, and neither have I.  We love and when we do we are vulnerable, fragile as newborn babies.  Love means loss at times, and hollow spots in our insides.  But that's okay.  There are so many memories tucked away in there as well, and we can visit and revisit them whenever we want.  My cousin is an enthusiast, and I am as well.  I've tried to guide my kids to the amazing blessings of life, and I'd say I succeeded.  Treasuring our humanity is important.  So it comes with a few hitches.  Life is still wondrous, surprising and a most glorious gift.
