Let Life In

Let Life In

         In a recent Terry Hershey reflection he used a made-up word “Absorbedness”, which he said means “Let Life In.”  Be open to new experiences that they can enhance our lives.

         In January 2002 my Mother-in-Law’s mother passed away, and she asked me to officiate the celebration of life ceremony.  I penned a poem, “For A Reason, For A Season, For A Lifetime” that summed up Diane’s place in many lives.

         Our Reason could be varied, the Season may be short or long, and for some of us it might be a Lifetime presence.  The Life we include into our  existence can bless us to a great measure.

         Fully living extends our growth to levels beyond imagining into spaces we may not have considered.  The clues to solving mysteries could lead us in directions not previously envisioned.

         Ideas to renewal might bring evidence that digs up precious things we may thought lost.  When something is presented to us in a fresh way, facts would cause a change in perspective, giving us a new viewpoint.  Insights that enliven our growth and expand the life we live.
