Life May Bring a Great Deal of Sadness

Here's a piece of mine that I had forgotten.
Written August 14th 2002,
after my sister Lois took me, mom, and Megan
to the circus.

Life may bring a great deal of sadness.
Do not be ashamed to feel it.

Remember that Life is a circus.

Some may not love you. The ones you love, will.
Loving and being loved may not be enough.

Find your rhythm,
Dance, Sing, Paint, Write, or Serve.
Or all of the above.
And take time to be.

Treat others with tenderness.

Following these and other worthy precepts
will not always make the path easier,
just more worthwhile.

Most of all, remember: You are loved.
Your creator loves you.
Many people love you.
I love you.
