Dear friends in Japan,<br />
As we contemplate the great number of people who have died in this tragedy, we may feel very strongly that we ourselves, in some part or manner, also have died.The pain of one part of humankind is the pain of the whole of humankind. And the human species and the planet Earth are one body. What happens to one part of the body happens to the whole body.An event such as this reminds us of the impermanent nature of our lives. It helps us remember that what's most important is to love each other, to be there for each other, and to treasure each moment we have that we are alive. This is the best that we can do for those who have died: we can live in such a way that they can feel they are continuing to live in us, more mindfully, more profoundly, more beautifully, tasting evey minute of live available to us, for them.Here in France and at our practice centers all over the world, our brothers and sisters will continue to chant for you, sending you the energy of peace, healing and protection. We are praying for you with our heart, our breathe and our daily actions with more compassion, more understanding and mutual interactions in beauty.<br />

I came across an <a href="http://www.unb.ca/news/epublications/view/view.cgi?article=4847*22" style="color: #783f04;">announcement</a> at work this week for a fundraiser in support of the local chapter of GHG – a dance to the music of Vinyl2Bits. I knew a little about the organization and, now that I’m a grandmother, knew I wanted to get involved. Interested? Look here: <a href="http://www.helplesotho.ca/index.html" style="color: #783f04;">Help Lesotho</a> and here: <a href="http://www.stephenlewisfoundation.org/" style="color: #783f04;">The Stephen Lewis Foundation</a>With Owen in mind I’ll be dancing the night away.

Recently I gathered my courage and began to read Audrey’s blog – <a href="http://notthedestinationbut.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/gently-sailing/#comment-974">the journey</a>. <a href="http://cosmicfart.blogspot.com/">DCW</a> has been following it for some time and I knew by his occasional comment at the kitchen table that it was exceptional. It is about living with cancer. <br />
Audrey’s post today “Gently sailing” resonated deeply - a balance between hope and reason, the momentous and the minor. It reminded me of when a typical day with my sister Carol Anne, who had cancer, required me to reach inward and grasp whatever courage and strength I could muster to navigate the distance between chemo or radiation or whatever the day's outing and sharing a cup of tea or watching a demonstration of her newest computer game or having a laugh or cry at the craziness of it all. I learned a lot about living from her and, I believe, the lesson that has served me best is to strive for balance.<br />
I had not known until recently that Carol Anne feared she would be forgotten.

A visit from cousin Sarah is something to look forward to. She is generous, thoughtful, and caring, which is not surprising if you happen to know her Mom. And, like her Mom, Sarah loves fiercely and devotedly. <br />
<br />
The photo above was taken in the hospital when Owen was born and where Sarah spent morning ‘til night with me taking care of Mama and baby. She recently spent a week’s vacation with them helping out. <br />
I'm happy to see she may visit here now and again.Driftwood & Turtleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11987427141107287476noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288835443955099697.post-82721395729555507352011-02-23T15:42:00.008-04:002011-03-30T11:36:57.185-03:00Got 12 minutes?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoympJDRo9QQOgYhMPFLNRZTXWM_-SIXMllneOY_onFQoh4F5mH9fQqKV5nI90JNK_o10exq7JCp6osdGEZVgVEmgv2sisSIo8xBAG0t31OooLEc_6t9y27AwTVRtIwNp6EwMOzx7UMeA/s1600/11_-_Tecl%25C3%25B3polis_-_Square.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoympJDRo9QQOgYhMPFLNRZTXWM_-SIXMllneOY_onFQoh4F5mH9fQqKV5nI90JNK_o10exq7JCp6osdGEZVgVEmgv2sisSIo8xBAG0t31OooLEc_6t9y27AwTVRtIwNp6EwMOzx7UMeA/s400/11_-_Tecl%25C3%25B3polis_-_Square.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576973855167993634" border="0" /></a><br />
