Enjoy the ride.

My friend, Courtney, has been carrying her baby boy for 7 months. Recently, she had serious complications. And today, the baby was born, but he did not survive. We are all grieving for her, her husband Jared and their son. As a Mother, this affected me more than I realized it would. My heart goes out to dear Courtney and Jared on this terrible day.

I wrote the following for Courtney and Jared. I haven't cried in a year (I've done my share of crying). But, today, I feel the terrible pain of grief and cry. I hope Courtney & Jared will be strong as they ride the waves of grief which are coming and eventually know that time will help heal.

The world is silent
The air stands still

Hollow eyes can see no form
Heart beats without will

They say the world turns
But I don’t believe them

I try to remember
The breath in my lungs

And inhale

Until I feel
I will not forget

Until I feel hope
once again
Is a friend

Be at peace little child
May your way be found
In your own time

Be at peace precious one
For you are loved

Enjoy the ride. Currently, I live in a small 'crossroad' town in the Sierra Nevada foothills. I'm raising a wonderful son, cultivating a promissing career in Real Estate and enjoying every day! I'm involved in many community activities, charitable organizations and do LOTS of Yoga! Life is a great ride. Things change, I adapt and follow the 'road' with love and humility. Namaste, Tierzah "Kori" Smith
