This post is just beautifully expressed Sheila and the timing could not have been more perfect! When I lost my dad and was consumed by grief, I was struck by how I also felt joy.. at the little things, the things my kids did and more... I didn't realize until I experienced it, that I could hold both grief and joy... and with the word the way it is today.. I have learnt to as you said.. "find stillness inside ourselves while standing in the midst of uncertainty"!! That uber driver and young child are lucky to have had some time with you.. your wisdom is deep and profound!
Smrithi, your capacity to hold both is evident in the way you love others. You are able to hold both darkness and light. You create a safe space to feel it all. It is not surprising to me that even in the devastating loss of your Dad, that you were able to continue to feel joy as he represents so much of that for you too. I am so blessed to have you in my life. Love you!
