There are moments in this
life that can bring you to your knees.
That shatter you into a
thousand pieces.
Pain so extreme you think
you might not survive......
That's what happens when
you are truly, whole-heartedly engaged in life.
Glimpses of dark and
light, love and hate, heartbreaking joy and earth shattering sorrow.
Pain so deep it can bring
you to your knees, face down in the dirt,
begging for someone or
something to make it stop.
In these moments we are
broken wide-open, exposed beyond our knowing, and spent.
Yet, on the other side
there's light. Always light.
It comes slowly and
gradually like a change of season.
We wake one day and the
pain is softer, muted to a dull ache.
With time the ache becomes
a memory that is full of wistful joy.
And then our hearts are
filled with an appreciation for loving so deeply,
sharing so profoundly this
precious experience with another,
that we open our arms to
the universe in anticipation.
