I think it not improbable that man,
like the grub that prepares a chamber
for the winged thing it never has seen
but is to be –
that man may have cosmic destinies
that he does not understand.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
(1841-1935)
That gives me comfort...that Oliver Wendell Holmes thought it not improbable that humans may have cosmic destinies. He wasn't at all certain sure, was he? That's my comfort.
Most of the time I think I'm certain sure...then I hold my little guy (who was human in disguise) as he leaves this plane, and I can only hope there really is a cosmos where he will know peace, love and joy...where he can bound across Heaven, meetin' and greetin' and having one fine time...again. Or still.
Thank you.
