Liminalities of the Heart.

On Monday 09 April my mother informed me that my paternal grandfather Eddie James had passed away the previous Friday, 06 April 2012. During the past fourteen months, I have lost my father (February 2011), my 'godmother three' Nancy Hall (November 2011), my paternal grandmother Lucille Smith James (December 2011) and now, my paternal grandfather as well. For the most part, I am doing well . . . but sometimes (or most of the time), I am unable take in the measure of it all--of having to negotiate safe passage through the many changes. Yet I know I'm not alone; that there are so many of us in this life, making our way through the 'heavy weather'. I wish for us all, the strength we need, when and as we need it.
