Excerpt from Kyleigh's Daily Meditation Book

It has been four months since my mother's passing. Kyleigh emailed this excerpt out to my family and I thought I would share the thought for today...

I sit on the rich, moist earth, green earth, and draw my knees to my chest.
All is not lost. The birds have simply moved on. They give me the
courage to do the same.

At this time of year in some parts of our country, we begin to see the birds
fly south for a long season. How do they know? How will they know to come
back? The answers are out of our hands. The processes of life go on,
irrespective of our knowledge or ignorance. How reassuring that we don't
need to know, that the Creator who set the globes of the solar system
spinning does know. And the birds do come back. Can we extend the same
trust to our experiences of loss and renewal? Can we watch birds go, secure
in the expectation of their return? Can we say goodbye to our loved
ones--not in the expectation that they will come flying back in the spring,
but that, in ways we cannot know, they will continue to be present to us,
continue to love us, as we continue to love them?
