My love.
I wish I could tell you that every day will be easy.
Fun. Magical.
I wish each day would feel like warm sand in your toes;
The endless blue ocean stretched before you;
A cool drink in your hand and someone you love close by.
But as we all know,
That isn’t the case.
Life brings Contrast.
Challenge. Loneliness.
Moments of grief.
Days that will feel nearly impossible.
Times when you will wonder if living
Is worth the effort.
I know. I have been there.
I have known nearly every despair
I have loved deeply
And lost deeply
I have wept oceans of sorrow.
But even in the moments of grief
Of uncertainty
Of aloneness
I know that to keep going
Is absolutely F#cking worth it.
Because those moments are just that.
Moments.
Even when they stretch to hours, days,
Or weeks.
Even when there are months of your life
That may feel like “WTF, God?”
They pass.
If you can just keep going;
Keep moving forward,
One slow step at a time,
Those days will pass.
The dark nights become
A glorious dawn
Illumined by the beauty
Of a sun so bright
The heart sings
And weeps at the same time.
Life becomes beautiful again.
We find joy again.
We fall in Love.
Sometimes with another soul.
Sometimes with ourselves.
Sometimes with Nature,
With God,
With All That Is.
We learn to surf.
We learn to paint,
To sing,
To garden,
To travel,
Or a thousand other
new skills that
Crack us open
To Possibility. To Expansion. To Wonder.
We find ourselves dancing at a street festival,
Surrounded by friends
And neighbors.
Or eating Ice-cream
On a wharf
In the summer sun
With a beloved.
We experience the miracle
Of childbirth
The magic of holding
And welcoming into the world
A new life.
We become parents
And sometimes Grandparents.
We learn the joy
Of “spoiling” a grandchild.
We connect
Or re-connect
with loved ones.
We find our communities.
We find ourselves.
We grow. We expand. We evolve.
And in between all of these beautiful miracles
That we call “life”,
We continue to experience Contrast.
But we know
That even in those
Dark nights of the Soul
Those times of Disconnection
From Source and All That Is,
Dawn is coming.
And it is amazing.
So please, Dear one;
Hold On.
Keep Going.
Don’t stop
In this moment
Because it is hard.
It will get better. Easier. More fun. Magical, even.
I promise.
Much Love, today and always. 💖
