Sometimes it seems that we say good-bye to a lot of people in a very short period of time. I have felt that people are leaving quite suddenly and very quickly.
Here is what helps me keep everything in perspective.
Only For A Short While
Oh, only for so short a while you have loaned us to each other,
because we take form in your act of drawing us,
and we take life in your painting us, and we breathe in your singing us.
But only for so short a while have you loaned us to each other.
Because even a drawing cut in obsidian fades, and the green feathers, the crown feathers,
of the Quetzal bird lose their color, and even the sounds of the waterfall die out in the dry season.
So, we too, because only for a short while have you loaned us to each other.
--Aztec Indian Prayer
The next time that you have to deal with losing someone, come back to this short prayer and be grateful for the time that you did have.
Blessings,
Judy

Thanks for reading this blog post. Sharing is good if it is kind and either has questions or tells about an experience. (Rudeness and profanity are excluded.)
