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!
