As I sat watching yet another phenomenal sunrise this morning I couldn’t help but feel how small I am in the vastness of this universe. Less than a pin dot. Feeling so lost the last few weeks, actually years, to become lost in the sunrise was cathartic. We are on this journey of life for such a blip. Last week I lost 2 childhood friends; one to COVID and one to cancer. It was a very sobering week to remember such heart felt memories about these 2 sweet people. It puts parts of my life in perspective to look at its brevity and to truly believe that today is a gift. Losing my son 5 years ago started the journey of being, attempting anyway, to live in this present moment, to relish every part of this moment. Even the moments that feel as though I cannot take another step..I cannot handle this pain and hurt again… wanting to close off my tender heart from all hurt. Ahhh but if I close off my heart and never risk, that true gut wrenching at times, ability to really feel..to really live..then truly what is the point if I feel nothing?
Today choose to live..feel all that is there to feel..breathe in life. Watch the sunrise and the sunset in the wonder of seeing it for the first time. Look up at those beautiful cerulean skies and the clouds and simmer in the majestic beauty of it all. Really feel it in your soul! Our essence is life and love …risk feeling it all.
This journey called life is fleeting….don’t miss a second more of it. Feel what you feel and know it’s a good thing❤️
