To experience the exhilaration of meeting a goal
Getting that job, getting the house,
Finding your partner or finally
Feeling grounded in your life.
Yet intertwined with these joys
Are the dark days, the angst
Of not knowing what is next.
Or the let-down of a failed plan
Or the loss of something important to us.
How do we hold the weight
Of this wild spectrum and not
Give up or lose faith and hope?
It’s a little secret you see,
One we knew when we were born
But lost along the way.
Embracing the duality of these life experiences
Allows for grace and redemption to root and grow.
For who would we be
If our hearts were never broken
Or sorrow hadn’t come our way
Or disappointment hadn’t visited?
Use all of this to weave your story
Knowing this is the
Bravest thing you can do.
