"Transformation" from Safe Passage by Molly Fumia The truth that transcends our deepest sorrows is not the good that
comes from the bad things that happen, but the good that continues,
and even is revealed, despite them. What does it mean to accept spiritual responsibility for our lives?
Somehow, I think this has everything to do with grieving, with
recognizing the connectedness of death and life, and of allowing
ourselves to be inspiried by the mystical power of letting go. I long to understand it all, but for now I celebrate mere findings. I hear myself thinking, in a small voice that whispers the
unthinkable: "It's okay that you died." Such a message leaves me troubled. I had thought that after months
of fighting with fate and God and medicine, I must have let down my
guard long enough for death to sneak in and take you away. Or did something else happen? Did I stop to catch my breath and
while I was simply breathing, you said goodbye and took your leave of
me? That same small voice within continues to nudge me along: "it''s okay
that you died, and that I am still alive."
