good reminder

The fact that I have been struggling internally lately is no secret.

Several people passed away unexpectedly, 

good intentions did not turn out the way I had hoped.

It takes a certain mental discipline to be ok 

with the comings and goings of emotion, memory, and thoughts. 

How do you survive these waves--

a good cup of tea,

a phone call with your best friend,

a trip to the beach,

a heart-rending interview,
a good book,

a walk in the forest?

Any and all good thoughts are so appreciated.
