Pieces of Recovery - In Memory of Lindsay Stearns 1985 - 2014

Witnessed each day
tiny, faltering baby steps
A slightly shifted attitude
Kind self care and care for others 
gentleness and a kind smile
sincere laughter with others
trying one more time to pick up the pieces

All tiny pieces of recovery
tacked into place
one tiny bit at a time
Sometimes all the pieces 
don’t stay in place,
in the right order, 
as quickly or firmly as they need to ~
a beautiful soul ebbs away from our presence
many hearts fill with memory and sadness.

“There are no extra pieces in the universe. 
Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, 
and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle.”
~ Deepak Chopra
