There Are Parts Of You

This quote has been shadowing me for some time.

I feel sadness creep closer and quickly shift direction;

diverting my attention to something less fraught.

I've avoided sharing it numerous times.

What better way to ignore the "parts of me that want the sadness"?

Trouble is, it doesn't banish it. There is only one way to do that.

Today, I'm stepping up and stepping in to the experience.

Baby steps is how I will proceed because its the best I can manage.

There is an over abundance of things to feel sad about.

I remind myself although sadness is painful, and really hard,

it is not fatal and it is worth the encounter.  

It's the only way to let it loose.

I will survive and thrive by

acknowledging its presence and its preciousness.

Namaste'

PS:  An extreme amount of waffling has gone in to sharing this quote!! 

 

You Are The Author

"Who needs preservation when the moment was never meant to last?"

I can't help but be reminded of why preservation is important.

Especially when it comes to the abundance of the summer garden

feeding us in the depth of winter.

How we long for moments of beauty to last!

Because they help us get through the ugly ones.

This is why we press flowers to pages,

take photos of loved ones,

put art on our walls, music in our rooms,

plant seeds and bulbs in our gardens.

We are the author of our lives...

we understand the momentary.

Breathing in the blooming is vital.

So is preserving and remembering.

It's all a glorious mishmash of appreciation.

Namaste'
