Under my feet the moon
Glides along the river.
Near midnight, a gusty lantern
Shines in the heart of night.
Along the sandbars flocks
Of white egrets roost,
Each one clenched like a fist.
In the wake of my barge
The fish leap, cut the water,
And dive and splash.

In Episode 78 of “Journey from Grief to Healing,” we delve into the profound reflections inspired by Sylvia Plath’s “Mirror.” This episode explores how an honest look into the mirror can reveal the deep truths of our grieving process. We learn that the mirror doesn’t discriminate or judge; it simply reflects what is. As we ponder our reflection, we confront the reality of pain and grief. But do we let these emotions define us? The episode encourages listeners to engage in introspection, challenging them to move past the noise and into a space of solitude. Here, we can ask ourselves the pivotal questions about our identity and future. Through loneliness, we find the opportunity for self-forgiveness and friendship with our own reflection. We embrace Melody Beattie’s wisdom that gratitude transforms our lives, offering peace for today and a vision for tomorrow. Join us as we unlock the fullness of life through gratitude on our healing journey.

There was no doubt about it: if you wanted to succeed you had to go away. You could do nothing in Dublin. ~ James Joyce
NOTE: James Joyce was speaking about Dublin. Yet, in many ways his words can apply to all of us. I know they do to me. I’m a long way away, geographically and emotionally, from where I was as a child. I had a large extended family and most of them continue to live or die within 50 miles of where they were born. That life wasn’t meant for me. I grew up near the railroad tracks. I often dreamed of the trains taking me to far off adventures. If I stayed, as I was encouraged to do, I would’ve never seen what I saw, met the people that I met, or do what I never dreamed it was possible for me to do. You never know what’s out there waiting for you. Catch a train, board flight you’re meant to take, or take a ride share. Keep your eyes on star that’s leading you. Don’t be afraid, journey on.

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
Tofu is indeed a nutritious food substitute for meat, making it a popular choice especially for those following plant-based diets. It’s made from soybeans and is a great source of protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth. In addition to protein, tofu is rich in a variety of nutrients that make it a healthy choice. Here are some of its key nutritional benefits:
It’s important to note that tofu can vary in its nutritional content based on the type (e.g., silken, firm, extra-firm) and how it’s prepared. For those who are mostly plant-based or looking to reduce their meat consumption, tofu offers a versatile and nutritious alternative that can be used in a wide variety of dishes. However, as with any food, it’s best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet to ensure you’re getting a wide range of nutrients.

Pete: “For real?”
Joe: “Yah, he’s a hit man for the mob.”

Pete: “That’s a smart move.”
Joe: “My problem was I’ve never driven a bus before.”
