I have a friend who frequently says he is going to write a book. When i tell him a good story he laughs a deep laugh and says that i have earned another chapter.
In my 29+ years ;) I've been able to fill many chapters I'm sure! From a fascinating adoption story and physical trials with my health to teen parenting, abuse, being a tattoo shop groupie and meeting my musical idol and enjoying his stories and a few bottles of wine.
Even the "quiet" chapters have been filled with beauty and pain and adventure. It truly feels like a dance at times. One that tugs at your heart as you watch the partners meet and part,
Today was a day of victory. One of the dearest people in my life had a major hurdle she overcame today and will return home; healing but healthy. This brings me such joy I want to cry huge tears of relief.
Yesterday was a day of discovery of things I had never known and whet my appetite for the knowledge I have sought for as long as I can remember. And truly from the two warmest people I've encountered in a very long time. They radiated kindness few do.
My light, beloveds, it's growing. I feel it. You saw it and it is shining brighter each step I take in the right direction.
Growing aches. My mosaic is still healing. Cauterizing it didn't do it, avoiding it isn't healing it, running from it isn't cleansing it. Finding my light is helping.
I still am often weak. I flounder and make mistakes. But I'm searching for the joy and dancing in the downpour.
Beloveds, are you feeling your growing pains? Are you rejoicing with the victories? Soaring in your own growth? Are you out there???
I am so thrilled to hear she is going home healthy!!! Sleep well tonight dear one.
