Moving Words by NPR's Aaron Freeman

Two weekends ago our church (Prairire UU in Madison, Wisconsin) took a service to recognize the Day of the Dead.  A traditional Latin American holiday, it is a moving tribute to loved ones who have left their earthly life.  Afterward, a staff member sent a link to a moving statement created by NPR's Aaron Freeman. I found a link on YouTube (the photos are bit off).  It is titled - Why You Want a Physicist to Speak at Your Funeral.  The words are moving, and I find it comforting to be reminded that one's energy never really leaves this Earth.



The work I do is rewarding, but also emotionally draining at times.  I am thankful for the insight of Aaron Freeman and others like him.  A positive outlook can be such a spirit lifter, especially on those days you learned of a client's passing.

Take care, be healthy, and enjoy every minute you can!
