Are you, like me, addicted to
beautiful sunsets? The clouds were too perfectly
hung in the sky as the reddish orange blush of the setting sun slowly sank in
the horizon. But sunsets, like so much
in life, are moments instantly lost as dusk moves to twilight. December is my birthday month and filled with
birthdays of family and close friends, moments of laughter and celebration I
try hard not to lose. Lost in the
moment, I caught a purple flower petal that was spinning in the gentle wind,
and for just an instant I felt her lightness against my palm. Slowly I opened my palm and let her purple
brilliance mix with the blush of the setting sun, and watched her spin away as
the wind lifted her off my palm.
Learning to let go has been one of my hardiness spiritual lessons, a
lesson of release, relief, surrender, and trusting in life’s awesomeness. Trust in life’s awesomeness this holiday
season.
