Ha! I suppose it does sound quite sad all by itself. For some reason it has inspired me, though.

Regardless of how much time we have (and maybe it will be a lot), won’t we live much of the same life? Loving deeply and taking action on the things that set our hearts on fire? The best thing we can be at any time is fully human. Embracing the messiness and all our feelings.

I feel the existential crisis - I’ve cried over it so many times - and yet I also feel at peace knowing all I can do is be… me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

We must do all we can for the good of our Mother Earth and each other, but it is also okay to make peace with the fact that we are finite. And it’s okay to still be happy while possessing that knowledge.

I guess I’m making two points. 😊 And I could never be as articulate as you two cats!!! You’re so gifted at translating complex thoughts into writing. 💞

(Oh, and it depends on where an individual person is at in their grieving process, I should add)
