Don’t let the trauma of your world define your world.
You are more. If you have the eyes to see – we are more than the struggles of life. We are life.
We have an obligation to live a life. Don’t let the trauma captivate you, don’t let it dominate your world. Do what you can do when you can do it – develop a plan then execute the plan. Then let go.
Your plan is to get a treatment plan. We’ll figure out how to do that. When you’re not doing that, it’s okay to have a life with beauty and kindness and love.
The world has its rhythms, find the rhythms that surround you, hear the music that is your life… when you listen to your life.
It’s a weird world with lots of twists and turns we never expected, lots of turns we never wanted, and we’ve dealt with a lot of nonsense to get to wherever here is.
Yet always spring comes in spring, and summer follows, then the trees turn to beautiful reds and golds and the winter months come – again – always.
You’re a flower. Did you know that? A funny looking flower that walks about on legs, but you’re a beautiful flower nonetheless, and the universe wants you here. I know because you’re here.
If the universe didn’t want you here, you wouldn’t be here. You’re here… a beautiful flower of life living a life it was destined to live. We ripple traumas from before, we work them through and out.
Rains come and our roots grow more deeply into the soil. Without the rain, the world is a desert. The sun comes after the storms and warms our souls with the life of its life. You’re a flower growing to your uniquely flowery ways through the seasons of time.
Storms will come again. So will the sun. Followed by storms, followed by sun. It’s the way of things. So are you if you listen, if you have the eyes to see.
Flowers are beautiful gifts from the universe to make our lives more beautiful. So are you.
