driving home today, i was enjoying the solitude of my car. i had dropped off our child at her activity. the sun was shining in between rain showers – a song from my past playing on the radio. the words spoke of enjoying watching the puddles gather rain (fans of 90’s music will probably know that one). a favorite of mine. smiling, i glanced over at a large sign advertising “ESTATE SALE”. i saw it was a local organizing company putting it on – the same company who had recently cleaned out our adopted grandpa’s home in recent days.
i haven’t spoken of that yet. what is there to say? the house is empty – in every way imaginable now.
so seeing this sign removed the smile from my face as i reflected on the rather pathetic way in which our lives can be seen at times after we have left these bodies: stuffed into boxes and at times, placed on display at Estate Sales.
it just felt wrong. my mood grew somber.
and then something happened.
i thought of it a different way – much the way “the grinch” does in that holiday cartoon.
i could see the humor of all of our “stuff” we gather – being passed on to someone else. i could hear our grandpa laugh. his legacy – sitting at some damn estate sale. he would definitely see the humor in that.
and i did too.
so i laughed – tears in my eyes. kind of one of those most beautiful moments – the most powerful of emotional states. missing him as i do, i could feel the laughter in the moment of reflection. and i could feel how temporary this all is. and how absolutely ridiculously silly it is as well in the end.
we come and go. meet and greet – reconnect – only to move on to another experience.
only in this “now” moment – we do so FREELY. forever more.
love,
victoria
