At a recent funeral I was reminded of a poem I first heard in church many years. This is a poem that has influenced my life, that inspires us to consider how we will spend the time “in between” as in the dash (on our tomb stone!) between the 2 points of our birth date and death date
There is a beautiful reminder about focusing on what matters rather than attaching to possessions and putting importance on things we own. To enjoy the moment and be in the now, as the truth is we don’t know when the end of our dash will come! Also to let go of worrying, and instead to fully live, fearlessly, with love. To not wait to start something, to not delay with “I will do that tomorrow”, if we truly want change we need to begin.
Here’s the program about Barbs who died recently. A person so significant in my life that I felt I had not choice other than to fly back to the UK to attend her funeral. The lovely extra twists was the delight of revisiting the area (thank you beautiful English sunshine) and the wonderful opportunity to reconnect with people I’ve not been with for decades.
An here’s a mixed bag of photos from my trip. My summary: enjoy life, get out in nature, don’t wait till tomorrow and celebrate when you can connect with those who are special and important in your life.
