I read this profound quote recently and thought about what, exactly, those things are that can never be lost. Life is unutterably temporal, so what are those diamond-like slivers of light and love that are not.

Please add your own comments. Specifically, from your point of view, what are those things in life that can’t be lost?

My own “can’t-be-lost” list follows:

Dreams

Dreams that came true

Dreams that still might come true

Your own God-given talent – unique from any other’s

Perseverance through?seemingly insurmountable fears and obstacles–that go on much longer than you ever imagined they would or could

Goals accomplished?against all odds–with grit, guts and soul you didn’t know you owned

Love you gave to another

Love you received from another

Your shamelessly, in-love heart placed in the hands of another–with abandon, regardless of outcome

Your first kiss

The first time you kissed your first child

Your most memorable?birthday

Music that made your heart happy – then, listened to countless times over?with the same joyful effect

Music you danced to

Art you swooned over

The moment?you had the heart and wisdom?to recognize the depth of another’s sorrow

The moment you offered compassion to that fellow human

The day you saw your own mercy, compassion or kindness in action–and the happiness and freedom it brought to that?someone

The day you realized life will go on, despite a broken heart

The day you realized that broken heart is no longer your own headline news

A compliment from friend or stranger that lands you on top of the moon

Giving a compliment or smile that sends someone into the happiness?stratosphere

A special, always-there-for-you animal that made you laugh, and loved you, without ceasing, every day–for years and years
