YEAR OF ZEN: SUMMER: DAY 23

Death Visitor - Adolph Menzel

Q: What has passed away in your life?

A: People in my life have passed away…my dad, my aunt Sissy, my grandparents, friends and peers from my youth. Animals I have love have passed away…Haley, Abbey, Jemma, Fergie, Zim, Stella, Baby, Chonk. Parts of my life have passed away…my teens, 20’s and 30’s. My life as a bachelor. My life without children. Some of these passings have been easier and made sense. Others have been more difficult. Each has offered its own lessons that have informed and broadened my perspective.
