Open your heart and grow with what life sendsSome twenty years ago, one of my favourite persons embarked on a journey out of the country with the understanding that I would meet up with him a couple of months later. His destination was the US and his aim was to be with a friend who was receiving treatment for cancer. Like many people traveling to the US, he decided to break the journey with a stopover in UK for a couple of days.

Last week, a close friend saw us at a function and came over to commiserate with my wife on the death of her niece. This friend and classmate had himself lost two of his children including an only daughter who was the apple of his eyes. We asked after his wife and were told that she had just lost her sister in a freak accident involving a careless ‘KekeMarwa’ driver while on her way to the airport.

I have had, especially of recent, to take solace in the lines of a beautiful song written by Bruce Cockburn. The third and fourth stanzas are particularly soothing and I have used them to steady myself whenever unexplainable deaths occur in order not to lose my sanity and my faith. I have quoted the third stanza to start this article in the hope that the lines will also serve to steady and preserve the faith and sanity of many others who are coping with untimely deaths.
