Though loss follows loss,
you are not diminished.
If anything,
you become
more clearly, purely, simply
who you are.

Imagine yourself a crystal goblet,
sparklingly empty,
reflector and refractor of Light–
an object of beauty breathtaking,
ready to be filled
with the attainable
and the inconceivable.
