March: On Death

March 1

Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from The Muppet Christmas Carol.

You will meet countless people in your life. Anyone from your parents, partner, and children to the waiter in a restaurant, the stranger on the street, or even someone online. 

But all of these meetings will eventually become partings. That is the way of it.

If you find yourself saddened to know you will one day leave your loved ones and friends, or that they will leave you, count yourself fortunate that you have them to lose in the first place. 

Recognize it now while they're here with you and before your meeting inevitably becomes a parting.
