The biggest spiritual lesson I learned this year is time stops for no one.
I had two of my four kids move out during the summer. My only daughter got married and my oldest son moved out with a buddy.
My mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
It was an emotional eye opener and my attention to fleeting moments intensified.
My commitment to practicing contemplative awareness heightened.
My sense of loss has informed my desire to love more attentively.
Change in life seasons is bittersweet, but each turning is an opportunity to deepen ones practice of what is sacred to us all — family love.
