A brand new patch of snow, no footprints, no slush, no ice. Hope to remember this moment as the transitions evolve, events take place, good comes and good leaves, new mysteries unfolding, new ways of realizing; life is one great big circle of ongoing events.
After all as Michiganders, we live in a state best known as the state of ‘Water Wonderland?? a good place to be as we evolve into balancing ourselves economically, emotionally, physically, spiritually and personally, better equipped to claim our abundance.
An inventory of sorts to go forth and overcome the setbacks to spring us forward after the winter passes.
It’s just a timing thing, which reminds me of a song in yesteryear.
It’s been said, time heals all wounds. Never worked in my world of experience, the only healer has been pain and suffering. The real challenge is letting go of the pain and suffering, now that takes effort, hard endurance, patience, fortitude and lots of forgiveness.
So, as for time heals all wounds, is a myth in my vocabulary. Much like saying, one can graduate from school and have no homework assignments to do.
Not in real life, not in school, not at the workplace, the home place or any place.
To forgive is to give up the suffering, not who or what caused of the suffering. Each of us can only account for who we are and how we navigate who we are being.
If the truth is clouded, the sunshine is right behind it, if the darkness is puzzling, ask some questions even if the answers are not visible in the moment.
I seem to be searching for the profound and that could be; I’ve heard said happy harmonious journey. Now is that truth or fable?
Looking at my life it’s been everything but harmonious ? I must truly appreciate adventure or just familiar with it.
I appreciate sharing my thoughts, much like the wind appreciates it’s own breath.
Happy or sad, the journey keeps on changing and evolving, ‘it’s all good.?
