Pain is inevitable
I have been absent from writing this month and the longer I stay away the more difficult it has become to just sit down at the computer and start once again. One of my son's friends passed away on the first of the year. It was unexpected and shocked his family and tight knit group of friends to the core. Watching my son and his friends mourn the loss weighed very heavy on me. He was a very bright talented young man. He shared all the same talents as my son which allowed me to feel connected to him through familiarity and to his parents. He was passionate about skateboarding, music, he played several instruments, photography and he was a master with editing videography. He was kind-hearted, gentle and genuinely connected to his friends through all of these activities. My heart has ached for his family and friends these past few weeks. I realized through this process how important it is for me to have balance in my life in order to be open to receive creative flow. Pain
