Loss

The thing I've been thinking about the most
is loss.

The losses experienced in life,
yes,
but really
the meaning
we all make of our losses.

Deaths of loved ones,
the phases of lives hurtling by,
jobs and relationships we never imagined
would end.

All of it.

Among other things,
our lives are compendiums of
loss and change
and what we make of it.
