The Art of Losing

Jennie Dyster has called her address, today - " The Art of Losing". It's about the many forms of loss we all experience in our living: lost property, lost money, a lost competition, lost opportunities, lost places, lost friendships, lost love-ones, lost.....
Some loss can seem overwhelming - but, with the right mind-set - it may also be ennobling and enriching - even empowering!

Jennie cites some who've risen above deep personal and tragic loss to become an inspiration to us all in our time of loss.
She quotes from the American poet, Elizabeth Bishop who - in her poem - One Art, writes: 

"The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster."

Jennie goes on to explain how. It's the Art of Losing! Do listen on!
