The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom
Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away.
-Author
I am reminded of a poem by Kahlil Gibran, one where he talks on children. I am reminded that children have their own path to follow. I am also reminded of the importance of letting go. It may be difficult, but it is important. It is an important skill to have; the art of letting go.

Things that happen before you are born still affect you. And people who come before your time affect you as well.
-Ruby
No man is an island and the things you do may not only affect the present, but it may colour the future too. It may go so far as to affect the future, even after you are long gone.
I am reminded to think about my actions and examine them closely.

You have peace, when you make it with yourself.
-Ruby
Having spent time waiting for closure, waiting for peace, waiting for forgiveness… I think that I must learn to give these things to myself. I must learn to give myself closure, I must learn to give myself peace and I must learn to forgive myself. That, I must learn to do myself.

Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you’re not really losing it. You’re just passing it on to someone else.
-The Captain
After having spent so long looking at things from a black or white perspective, a win or loss, good or bad, I begin to think that we exist mostly in the world of grays. A world where there’s more to it than simply winning or losing, where life means more than just having breath in these lungs, where family is more than the blood we share and where love transcends you. There’s a bigger picture here.

No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.
-The Blue Man
After having spent many days, feeling guilt, shame and regret, over actions taken when I didn’t know better, I realized how much of my life had gone down the drain. I had spent so much time feeling awful, maybe it was time for a change. Maybe it was time to be kind to myself and to forgive myself.

Fairness does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young.
-The Blue Man
That nothing in this life is assured. Life owes you nothing and that life is a gift. A gift that is there until it is not. We are not informed on the date that is to be our last, but it is there. The best that I can do is to try and appreciate every day that I do have.

That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind.
-The Blue Man
I am forced to examine my actions when I think about this quote. The daunting realization that what I do not only affects me but those around me and inevitably the whole world in some sense. Accepting that I will never fully understand the consequences of my actions yet I still have to take action in this world. I am inspired to pay more attention to those around me, to not be too quick to dismiss. We are a part of this world, a world that is more alien than familiar. We are in this together.

When you are an outcast, even a tossed stone can be cherished.
-Blue Man
Having felt shame and fear all his life over things that were largely out of his control, even the slightest attention paid to him suddenly feel like the world. Even with the attention being cloaked in cruelty and malice, it is still acceptable. What is he to do, when all his life he has felt unacceptable, and now he finds outstretched arms, even though the arms be those of the devil?

This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened in your life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for.
-Blue Man
Deep within I have so many questions, questions that I doubt I will get the answers to in this life. Maybe upon my passing, all things will become clear. The reason why events have unfolded as they have, maybe then I will be able to see the whole picture.

People often belittle the place where they were born. But heaven can be found in the most unlikely corners. And heaven itself has many steps.
-Author
These for walls have housed all of me.
In the dead of night,
When the body is wracked with guilt and shame,
The four walls have housed all of me.
When joy has got,
The very best of me,
These four walls have housed all of me.
When more questions seem present,
With no answers in sight,
These four walls have housed all of me.
Through the good and the bad,
These four walls have housed all of me.
-Nawekulo Wanjugu
As the days have passed and my view on life has expanded, more and more I appreciate my home. I carry it with me, everywhere I go. It is the people I hold most dear, it is who I am and who I hope to be. It’s the people who came before me, and those to come after. It is knowing that no matter where I am, I am never alone. I am loved and I love. And I think at the end of the day, that is all that matters.
Happy Reading!
