Loss

I've been a fan of Steven Curtis Chapman's music since the mid-eighties. Many of his songs have been a part of my spiritual journey. So I was shocked and saddened to read about the tragic death of the Chapman's youngest daughter last week. Steven and his wife, Mary Beth have a grown daughter and two nearly grown sons and also three adopted daughter's from China. Maria was their youngest.

My heart was deeply moved, though, watching the video below. The song was written about Steven's two youngest daughters, Stevie Joy and Maria Sue.
How precious and fleeting are our moments. Truly, the only moment we have is now. now. and now. Embrace the moment, live fully, be awake, be present.
