Life-Songs

Last week my morning readings were taken out of Nipo’s, Book of Awakening, and day after day it opened to page 291- Growing Inside the Song.  The reading started with a poem by Emerson, “What lies behind us / and what lies before us / are tiny matters / compared to / what lies within us.”  I worked at its meaning all week without much progress, until today as I read an email about Peggy’s death last week, less than two weeks after her cancer diagnosis.  Now the words have meaning as I feel Peggy’s gift she left inside of all of us, touched by her specialness. Peggy served as Manager of the CEO Cancer Gold Standard program and taught us all about the power of believing, patience, and persistence.  Honor the life-song of others growing inside you today.
