"Every life is like a day. We begin the night before and, in the darkness, we
are formed as a word that strikes a spark. This spark lands like a seed coming
to the ground in the soul of the womb. Then miraculous growth pulses like
wildfire an unstoppable explosion of unimaginable genius the exponential roar of
universal proportion. Every life well-lived holds in its hearts core the knowing
that all life is formed from the dust and back to dust disintegrates. We wake up
from the sleep of the cosmos and, in the evening, we prepare to return to that
great, mysterious darkness once more. The trinity of dying, death, and grief is
part of one great movement, each a particular primary color on the spectrum of
passing back into the night from where we came."
Singer, composer and leadership coach Owen O'Suilleabhain shares more in this
moving meditation on memory, grief, healing and regeneration.
