People enter your life for many reasons. You for them, them for you, and there is always something in give and receive. What is important to understand is the impermanence of the entries, and that the door is always open and revolving. Don't try to hold on to what comes into your space ( good, bad, or indifferent ). Attachments lead to loss and a false sense of security. Instead, honor them for just what they are, and let the wind kiss each and every experience in grace. Remember… ALL experiences are the added bonus to just being alive…
