"Only when we can accept that we are fragile guests on this Earth, only then will we be at home wherever we are." Mark Nepo Life is impermanent. We are reminded of that daily as caregivers. The almost-daily decline of physical life is evident before us. With the inclement weather some of us in the northern hemisphere are experiencing, we are also reminded of the fragility of life. Summer has gone. Fall is abruptly replaced by winter. So, too, will our own bodies decline and pass away. It is the natural order of things. We could be sad about that, . .. . or we can use that knowledge to live more fully in the present moment. Today let us take some time to look around, take some deep breaths, and appreciate the life we get to live.
