An important learning, and an important practice, is to be more intentional.
Tell your loved ones what you think, now. What kindness you can give, give it now.
Be mindful of your mortality, and live your life like it ends with this very moment.
Each moment of our life is a precious gift. This gift can be used in loving connection with one another. What it can't do is be saved for later. That understanding calls me again to the cliff. Sometimes it's appropriate to choose transition over security, to throw yourself into the void of not knowing what comes next.
Sometimes it's not a choice. Sometimes circumstances - illness or death of a loved one, loss of a job or friendship - thrust you into the void. And then it is a matter of coping so that you can survive. Forgiveness and mindfulness in life are two tools that have served me well in a coping process, and I hope you will consider how they may help you.
To all of the people tonight facing transitions, sitting on the in-between, I wish you strength and wisdom. Let's spend some time together supporting each other as best we know how.
