Aloha Gregory,

Mahalo nui loa (Hawai'ian for thank-you very much!) for this insightful post. Brings to mind my monk training.

Over the course of a delicious dinner I fondly recall one of my teachers sharing insights on the passing of time. He'd often reframe perspectives with insights on his shamanic training - specifically - deep reverence and love for Mother Earth (Gaia).

His reframe of time summed up in one word: compost!

Nature's what was slowly dissolves into what is to create what will be.

Reflecting on the abundance of lessons learned (my compost pile) the art of reclamation occurs with every breath taken. True?
