what to keep, what to let go
May. 12th, 2013 12:53 amToday, I went through some postcards I received during my last year of high school and first year of college:
( scans + comments under the cut )
Rita Frizzell, a friend from church, died yesterday, of cancer. I was trying to describe her to another friend and eventually linked to her page at Luminous Mind, which happens to include my favorite Shaw quote. Her story about how meditation helped her help her family through the sudden death of her nephew is also striking.
On a happier note, I went across town tonight to help my favorite almost-91-year-old celebrate his birthday a few days early. In addition to being fed champagne, meatloaf, pierogies, and strawberry cake, I got to chat with him and his family about yoga, ziplining, tornadoes ("grab the violin and the dogs!"), crazy cousins, gin-based drinks inspired by said cousins, gardening, legal citations, Delaware's legalization of same-sex marriage, sculptures made out of champagne foil and wire, and a host of other topics.
This, I do want to remember.
