Life Ripples

Several years ago I’d been asked to follow a palliative team around that was undergoing high stress.  My 10 years of hospice work had prepared me for the experience, but not for ripple of emotions I’d feel.  We were near the end of our daily rounds when we entered a room that didn’t feel like a hospital room.  Maybe it was the warmth of the handmade quilt on the bed or the family pictures spread around the room or maybe it was the ripples of my mom’s room so many years ago.  It really didn’t matter, what mattered was the joy of life ripples were there, and I was being reminded once again the power of never ending love.  Find joy in your life ripples today.
