These lovely thoughts are written by the sister-in-law of a friend…
“I often think that the people we have loved,
And those who have loved us,
Not only make us more human,
But also become part of us.
We carry them around all the time
Whether we see them or not.
In the same way,
Our loving attention to the earth and all that it gives life to,
Also nourishes us and becomes part of who we are.
We are a sum total of all that we have loved and given ourselves to …”
We are SUCH an important part of the lives of everyone who we love – what a delightful thought
