"Beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their middle state, and unmanifest again in their end. What is there to lament?"
Modern explanation
Begin today by remembering: Every visible life is a brief crossing between two great silences. The crossing itself is the gift.
Practical application
Light a candle, name what you've lost, and let yourself feel without explaining it away.
Reflection question
How can I carry this love today without pretending it doesn't hurt?
