Rhythm of Life

We are not actually broken

we are simply students of life.

Depending on whether or not 

we signed up for an “advanced class”

may mean our lessons can get

increasingly challenging. 

One of the secrets is that

everyone on earth has them

to varying degrees, of course

but no one is immune 

from pain or difficulty.

(Not really, it’s all perception)

We can try to mask it, or ignore it, 

or suppress it. 

But it wont actually leave

until we choose to let it go.

Our purpose is to rise above,

to heal, to evolve, to share, to love, to help…

I’ve had my fair share of challenges

that I got through, 

thanks to the love & support of family.

Sometimes I get cocky

laughing, singing, dancing

thinking I may have figured out

one of it’s mysteries.

Then something else hits me

from out of left field

and I sit there trying to catch my breath

thinking WTF?

Thing is I have a choice

I can wallow or I can keep moving forward.

By now I’ve learned what helps

I have a box of valuable tools

that I collected over the years…

But the trick is to use them regularly.

This thing called life not a spectator sport

it’s fast and furious

it can chew you up 

& spit you out!

But it is also a splendiferous, 

breathtaking, joyous, exhilarating ride.

Just think about

Looking into an innocent baby’s eyes…

Feeling their little hand grasp your finger

Seeing that ear-to-ear toothless grin 

Hearing them giggle at the sight

of your smile or the sound of your voice…

So much love!

We all come to earth for a reason…

Even though we are always learning & evolving

Let’s not forget that

in every given moment

We Are Beautiful - Just As We Are!

And today and every day let’s choose 

what rhythm of life

we want to follow

Tick-tock, Tick-tock

OR

Thump-thump, Thump-thump
