MY SOUL HAS GROWN 100 YEARS IN 24 HOURS.

Within one day's time, I have experienced the pain of loss
coupled with an overwhelming sense of the peace.
I have felt the security of family - the warmth of a child on my lap.
I've felt the serenity in solitude - wind in my hair, the sun on my back.

And I have felt something within me explode into life.
A part of my being that has lain dormant for so long has awoken,
and is shining brighter than I could have ever imagined.

In death, in birth; in peace, in love - my spirit grows.
It has no limits, no boundaries -- its wings are free.
