beauty and tragedy

 “The tragedy of life is not in the fact of death, but in what dies inside us while we live.” ~Norman Cousins

 

there is a dying
that is good and beautiful
that brings God joy and delight
it makes good space within us
for something new to be born

and there is a dying
that is sad and tragic
that breaks God’s heart
when we fail to pay attention
to what is good and beautiful within
and it dies from neglect
