"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Life is Short

"Life is very short, so break your silly egos, forgive quickly, believe slowly, love truly, laugh loudly, and never avoid anything that makes you smile." author unknown

My niece Kay posted this quote on Facebook today...a good reminder of what's really important. Today, her dad, my oldest brother Edwin, passed away at just 69.  May he rest in peace.

I spent some time today going through the posts on Ed's Facebook page...an interesting mix of things that filled his days with delight and just helped pass the time.

There were lots of videos of recipes, comics and images that made you chuckle, cute kids and animals, and beautiful images from nature.

He also posted lots of lists like this....good reminders for us all. Thanks Ed!

"Someone once gave me a box full of darkness.  It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift."  Mary Oliver, may she also rest in peace.
