Love ……..
The Sun Never Sets and...And Love Never Dies………….
It has been over 5 years now since my partner passed due to cancer. It is true that love never dies, it just goes on in its amazing way of unfolding and holding one in its great teaching. Sometimes sad and lonely, sometimes happy and grateful for all the good. I haven't really been able to talk much about it over the past years because it was so hard but nature and the waves on the shore keep me company and aware of things beyond myself. The rain on the roof is comforting too, a cleansing and rejuvenating energy. How human we all are, how vulnerable and perhaps, despite the challenges of the world, we can hold fast to the love...to light up those dark places and release them.
It seems trivial to say I miss him yet that is an understatement. Life and love go on but in a very different way. It is alright, it is how it is. We cope, things come by and show us the way. Raccoons playing on the deck and preening each other. Bird song in the bushes. Great trees standing strong in the winds..
It is an odd thing, this life and its' lessons….always learning, adjusting, carrying on. When asked about life just before he passed on, his advice to us was just to keep on keeping on….and that is how it is.
Love never dies and the sun never sets, we carry on until we don't but that light and love never goes away. It continues on and we are surrounded by it and maybe that is why this planet is so full of life and beauty and perhaps we are eternal.
I am reminded, when looking out over the ocean, that although the sunset is beautiful for its moment, it never really sets and that love, however distant it may seem, surrounds us and is ever present. I hold to that light and love and I let it hold me.
Light and love to you all, Susanne
