So much has fallen away in the last ten years. Lessons were hard, karma was settled. The lines were carved deep into the diamond in the rough. “My will is Thine” was the mantra.
I’m grateful for all the broken dreams. The losses. All the past accomplishments I never thought I could do. Sometimes I just wanted to be solid and safe, just once. But the next step revealed itself and all that was just crumbled away.
I’m grateful for a silent inner tune that seemed no one else could hear. They told me I was a crazy, selfish, and not to be trusted. My ideas too big, too much, not enough. The tune played on.
So deeply grateful to the souls that aligned, challenged and supported, then flew with me for a moment, for years. Their love is with me still like a patchwork quilt. comprising my being. Helped protect the flame when I was sure the winds of doubt would extinguish.
I’m grateful that here I am today, ready to step into another reality once again.
This time without the sorrow and trauma, befriending the drama of experience.
Most of all so grateful to my sons who traversed through that dark terrain along side, taking things day by day, hour by hour sometimes. Through travels, poverty, displacement, separation and upheaval. We held strong in our hearts through time and miles. Holding to the unseen and unexpressed. I am grateful for their leadership and wisdom as we learned together that life is an adventure. A real life video game to play with all the love we can muster. Love truly did keep us alive…
And now they are free to fly.
Nothing really is mine. It never was.
I’m grateful for all I don’t have.
For I have everything when nothing is mine.
