Piece of Wisdom #29:
The purpose of life is to live.
Whether it’s attending a live music concert,
swimming in water,
hiking up mountains,
planting a rosemary bush,
singing in the shower,
running with arms open wide,
dancing naked in the forest,
meditating in stillness,
making love,
laughing with family…
life,
for certain,
is meant to be enjoyed.
At times life gets tough, & moments get dark - let it.
We learn from our truest self when we find the resilience to sit & dance within the shadows of darkness.
We learn who we are when we face death with eyes of humility.
Shedding layers to uncover the rainbows pouring from our hearts.
All these wild challenges of life,
are meant for us.
So we can grow.
So we can rise.
So we can fly.
Our trauma doesn’t have to be what holds us back.
With compassion and care we can learn to rise within the traumatic experiences that once felt as though it had the power to take our life.
Little by little we rebuild.
Little by little we integrate.
Little by little we understand.
Today I choose to celebrate life.
Today I choose to celebrate life with you.
With the love our world so effortlessly creates from within heart.
The source.
Year 28 is one I will always remember
because I made the conscious choice to stay
awake.
To stay
alive.
Year 29 I set the intention to live,
Deeply.
Passionately.
Poetically.
Grounded.
Free.
Slowly.
Peacefully.
Intentionally.
To practice devotion for life on what I do not yet know.
May life continue to keep my soul curious,
my inner child in a state of wonderment,
my magnetic self in a place of awareness,
and my shadow self in a place of unconditional acceptance.
I express a sincere apology for the hearts I did not treat as well as I could have.
Forgive me for not understanding the power of love at a time in my life.
Forgive me for the mistakes I made & the hearts I broke and will break.
I am not perfect, I am human.
Thank you for loving unconditionally.
I feel immense gratitude within my heart.
From my grateful, open heart to yours,
I send love.
I send light.
I send life.
Until next time,
Elizabeth
