My greatest win is admitting imperfection. To let you see me fail. To see me succeed. Perservering and conquering the mountain that is my mind. In nature, I’m finding creation to be the only measuring stick I choose to have. The sweat that coats every part is wholly divine. My body is in harmony. I feel so small. Never more alive. Sought the world to soothe me. It doesn’t work. The grandiosity of my surroundings is enough to bring me to my knees even as I’m rooted.
The only thing I’ve ever needed was the one thing I took for granted. Time. Riding with an eight year listening to the pop star du jour was something I won’t forget. The music choice was not my favorite. It made her happy. I leaned into her happiness, it was enough to give me some of my own.
Learning to let it be. Smile and be grateful for what is yours. Your reality may be someone’s fantasy.

ReplyDeleteThat is a HUGE win.
ReplyDelete"Your reality may someone's fantasy". That is quite a thought. We take so much for granted, and even complain about our this and that...and others would give most anything to have either this or that. May God forgive my short-sightedness.

ReplyDeleteWell spoken - contentment is an awesome lesson to learn and apply to life
