The sweetness of contrast

Honour the lessons

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 which awakens.

That is, when I get over sulking because things haven’t gone my way.

This is the sweetness of contrast.

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

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

So I will honour the contrast.

Then I will pick myself up, dust off the stench of mediocrity and glide with courage into my bright future.
