The purpose of the Dark Night
is to better see the light of day
when dawn arrives
and we realize we are still living.
The hurt we feel
helps keep us real
for all others who are hurting.
And the steps we take to heal the hurt
give us the strength to show up
and convey the honest truth
to those who have forgotten.
In the fullness of time
the wounds heal
and reveal the delicate dance
of life balancing on the precipice
of sadness and joy.
Come to the balance point
and regard the potential for both,
inside, outside,
everywhere around you.
Trust that there are no mistakes
and allow the dance to inform
the deepest layers of your being.
Always in a space of becoming,
we are all dreamers, doers, thinkers,
lovers, artists, scoundrels
and precious fools
fumbling through this one little life.

β€ There is something raw and tender about walking ourselves through this place. I sent a note a while back. I don’t think I had the right words. But it reminded me how tender it is to offer any words at all to parts of ourselves in times like this. I feel that in your words
Hi Laurie. You sent a note a while back? Was it a comment here on my blog? I treasure your words. They are always so loving and kind. ππππΌβ¨
In email. I was just thinking of you. β€
Hm…I’ll search for it. I do appreciate your words so. β¨πβ€οΈππ»
No need to search for it. Just know I’m thinking of you and send my love.
