A
friend and fellow actor died a couple of weeks ago, and my earth,
suddenly and surprisingly, moved on its axis. Not that we were close;
after drama school our paths went off in completely different
directions. But he was a part of a particularly intense period in my
life 40 years ago that I was too busy and challenged at the time to
appreciate.
Suddenly his passing unearthed a volcano of hot, fluvial
memories and emotions that I had no idea were even there. I miss
John. I miss them all. I never realised how much I loved them then,
and love them still, and just how blessed I've been to have known
them.
Grief
brings up clusters of connections that have always lain more or less
dormant within us.
In Grief they become known.
Time now to celebrate and embrace
that which was lost and is now found.
Something precious has come
home.
[You
Are So Beautiful – Ray Charles – 2:45]
