Mourning &
THANKSGIVING
It's not an either /or situation. It's a both/and
The most beautiful thanksgiving is offering from a heart that weeps. The most pure gratitude comes from a soul that reaches deep to acknowledge the gifts in spite of the countless, unfathomable losses. That doesn't mean you don't cry when while you life up hands and give thanks.
You can mourn what's been lost even while you acknowledge what you still have.
Your grief doesn't lessen you gratitude , it transforms it.
Tears turn an ordinary, two dimensional Thanksgiving table into a complex and glorious altar. Dying and living, mourning and thanksgiving together.
Holy, fragile, beautiful
