Are you ready for the thing?
The thing is for every living being on this earth, there is risk and there is beauty.
The thing is for every person who harms someone, there are a ridiculous amount of people who do not.
The thing is that we are constantly recovering from something because that is the nature of living. Our bodies, our families, our friendships, our world are adjusting and healing in ways we could not imagine.
The thing is if we turn toward and walk through the dark nights of the soul, we are fostering an internal and external world that is truly healing.
The thing is if you are recovering from trauma the best thing to do comes from Anne Lamott: “Go only as fast as the slowest part of you.”
The thing is, we heal, we love well and fully.
The thing is we step into the stream of life and it gradually, ever so slowly returns us to the present moment and opens us to life in ways we cannot fathom.
The thing is… Life takes a lifetime and we have so much life ahead. The best is yet to come. I know that and honor that in you.
The thing is love.
