The sweet contrast of life

Ahhh sweet contrast…

Aaahhh the sweet contrast of life.

Those seemingly unwelcome moments that come along to show me what I don’t want.

At first I dread the inevitably of it all. But when I settle into honouring the lessons, more growth and strength come.

This is where clarity comes to life if I choose to see it.

More knowledge and direction. I ponder the natural unfolding that awakens when I get over the sulking because things haven’t gone my way.

That’s the sweetness of the contrast.

Relaxing and breathing into the unknown rather than settling for what’s familiar.

The familiar is what has gotten me this far, it’s what has gotten me to the crossroads.

So I will honour the contrast then I will pick myself up and dust off the stench of mediocrity in order to glide with courage into my bright future.
