Vic died on June 3, 2008— many years ago and oh so recent. I’ve learned to carry the grief of death near the love that still supports me every day. This time of year awakens the grief I felt in Vic’s last month when he was clearly dying. The grief is accompanied by a burst of spring beauty in Nature.

Lupines lead me to personal grief I’ve written about many times before. A natural grief that comes from being mortal, not a grief imposed by human cruelty or the withholding of food and freedom. My kind of grief is guaranteed if we fall in love in this impermanent world. It was hopeful grief, not hopeless grief.
