Sometimes life is hard. Sometimes we have to go through the dark night of the soul. Here is a poem that honors the pain while showing an opening to hope:
Radical Sky
20 years ago
I was getting married
on a boat
called Karma
on a sunny day
in a bay of dolphins.
My 9-year-old sister
carried the ring
on a pillow.
Now they are all gone:
sister, father, mother, husband.
A litany of loss.
But I have learned
this:
even in the smallest circle of sun
reflected through a tiny prism of snow
you can see all the colors.

Thank you for sharing the poem.
Life can be hard and painful. That's kind of the point of life.
Here's the world saying, "Here ya go. All the crap you can possibly manage and then some. What can you do with it."
It's your job to say, "Okay world, is that the best you've got? I crap worse things than that on a daily basis and twice on Sunday's. What else ya got?"
The world is challenge. We would be bored otherwise.
