Thanks Makita.

“My father once told me…When the most important people are in your life, your soul is like a beautiful home furnished piece by piece in elaborate memories and experiences. When that person leaves the home, it becomes empty, hollow and barren.” He told me, “You have to get new furniture now, and fill the home again.”

That this is simultaneously going on at a physical, and a metaphorically spiritual level for me is boggling my mind right now. Unfortunately ‘important people’ are not in the IKEA catalog. They require quite a bit more effort, patience, and grace to locate. More like finding that pair of shoes at Value Village that fit perfectly and still have some mileage left…

Rare find that.
