Lessons from a Funeral: #1

It's ok to acknowledge and live from the heart all of the time.

Sitting in the funeral last night, I realized something. Everyone at that event came with an expectation that hearts should, would and could be exposed. In fact, it was encouraged. Freedom of expression...mind, body, spirit...unhindered. My startling realization was that much of life after that moment does not carry the same permission and appreciation.

But it should.

Because that is humanity in its purity.

Real people...sharing real life...in the midst of sorrow or joy...infused with and surrounded by great love.
