Sometimes loss is as important as the things we gain in life. Loss is similar to growing a tree, in order for a new branch to grow we must prune off the branches that are stressing the plant. The same is true for the human condition. As we go through life, there are always areas that need focus and attention. There are things we want to change for ourselves and others. Learning what to lose and what we may gain by doing it is an important as siezing opportunities, or harvesting. Loss is also a time for reflection, we must not gloss over loss, sometimes we need to embrace it in order to move forward. Grieving is just as important as happiness and when we lose something close to us, it usually comes back later in a different form. It is necessary to be careful not to over prune our branches though. it is easy to stress our plants and end up killing the project. So, in parting, embrace your loss and see it for what it is, a chance to grow and mulitply the harvest of our lives.
