"The refusal to begin our journey doesn't keep us from having one." Julia Cameron
How true. We all know people who seem to avoid the issues in their lives and live obliviously, perhaps we ourselves have done that at some point. But, as Cameron says above, that does not stop the journey from happening. I recently took Dwane to the funeral of one of his colleagues. The church was packed and the person who did the eulogy brought ripples of the laughter of understanding when he spoke. Obviously, this man who died was well known by most in attendance. Have you ever wondered how many people might come to your funeral and what they might say? We have all been to funerals with a handful of people, and then again, to the funeral of someone of similar age, and there are many people. It seems that the number of people in attendance must indicate the level the deceased had on people who knew him/her. Perhaps it is a guideline with which to live: How do we want to be remembered? The journey of life is going to happen. Do we want to fully participate in that journey? That is our choice.
