Honoring the Magic in Your Mortality
After losing my dad and my step-dad within a few years of one another, Father’s Day has always been a bittersweet day for me.
Yet the deeper I go into this very experience of bittersweetness, the more I feel the sweetness of it. And of life itself.
And the more I know that it is in honoring the magic inside our mortality where we can live our happiest moments amidst each “ordinary” day.
Let me explain…
Through facing the death of souls who were so dear to me, I’ve come to believe that embracing our mortality is the very gateway through which we can experience the wonder of being alive more often.
So often we go through our days worried that we don’t have enough time yet somehow thinking we’ll be around forever.
We don’t take the time to appreciate each moment because we’re so busy chasing after…what?
The next moment? Here?
Even while this NOW is fervently present, blissfully pulsing through each vein.
The promise of the next sunrise is nothing more than a promise. Even as the breath you just took will never appear in its same form ever again.
And through everything that you’ve been through, you’ve made it here, sweet soul.
