Loss Redux

 Our losses are personal.


Forgive the captain obvious remark.


Each of us suffers in our own way.


Loss over the decades, even the millennia, are incalcuable.  


Most of us, for instance, have not had everything taken and finally Freedom, then herded into cattle cars and exterminated.


Many of us came to America with little and next to nothing.  Then we made our way up and out.  


Many of us, born here, have a loss of perspective re Freedom and possessions.


It must be taught to appreciate both.


My greatest loss was family, friends and associates.  Yet, they are with me still and in a way that they can never go nor be taken away.


Once at a point with only the clothes on one's back and no roof over one's head to amassing things.  Remember they are indeed just things.


Then, taken away partially.


Sitting in a room with most of those remaining things in back and to the side, it streamlines 'things'.  


One takes what is inside, memory, learning, love and all and rebuilds.


Use what is available and never forget.


Freedom, not tyranny motivates just as love and not hate grows.  


Gain.
