This morning my dear friend, P, has posted a very thought provoking blog about death and live and seasons. I have found that this morning it has made me review a lot of issues that came up recently.
Only a couple of family members and now RCG are aware that I actually offered to cancel my trip on Sunday night. This possibility was due to my father's health and the fact that he was throwing up and possibly was fighting a blockage issue in his intestinal track. While for most people is not a big issue but it can be if you have had a third of your intestinal track removed and have health concerns that might be under control but by no means are over. While it is fortunate I did not have to cancel (as there isn't a whole lot anyone besides a surgeon can do had it escalated) and I am still connected to the world and to home.
My friend's posting this morning (well it is morning in Israel) made me think about the winter periods in our lives when we close off parts of our hearts and feelings. How we find complete means of functioning normally in our warm and artificial environments while we ignore the raging elements outside. It is definately worth coming to terms with the reality of it all even in accepting what we can not change and finding a balance in our hearts and minds that allows us to move through all the seasons we face. Thanks P for helping me contemplate these things for the week.
