Winding Down
Our time together, physically in this world, is coming to an end. Our energy will still connect in the trees and the sun and among the bird songs. For now, we are finding peace and togetherness. For now, the we are resting, we are winding down. This phase of things came hard and fast and it’s a shock to us, our family, friends and of course, our children. Here we sit in the reality of what ALS is, a beast that cannot be tamed. What we can tame is the way we see the world around us. Hear the psithurism, feel the apricity, and find peace.
psithurism: noun
a rustling or whispering sound, such as leaves in the wind
apricity: noun
the warmth of the sun in winter
