our bodies will not last...they will fail, they will get hurt, they will heal, they will take us on adventures, they will teach us respect and gratitude, restrain and caring. some of us are born with "limitations" of the body, yet our limitations are opportunities. caring about oneself is one of the most important lessons we can ever learn and ( Read more... )

committed to this soul, the spirit, this life and knowing its perfection, i have found myself growing exponentially. i am not who i was and yet i have always been the same. patience is truly a virtue...that is an ever-present lesson. patiences brings peace in its ability to let loose its fists in freedom and detachment. i am so grateful for ( Read more... )

it took a day to get through it but im here. it took a day. hardly a moment of life and yet, it felt like it would last forever. every process feels that way. a moment exaggerated into forever. and it's over and i can see again that it's just a moment, one process of many. and then i can get back to loving. because that's what i'm good at, ( Read more... )
