My heart has been waning as of late... torn in many directions. Some of my own doing, others just being the events that take a toll on one's soul naturally in the process of life. No matter the years of my life experiences, I think one topic never to be completely understood or deciphered is the heart and human nature, in relation to it.
I have to wonder what makes us shirk away in fear when confronted with the purest form of acceptance and willingness to love? Do we allow the perceptions of what we desire to cloud our truest needs? Reflecting upon disasters of the heart that make us who we are today, but certainly not what will appear in the mirror tomorrow. Change is growth and every part of one's being is encompassed in this momentum on the daily. Why do we try to impede the process of change... of the inevitable growth of the soul... the very core of being? The desire for more- love, life, laughter, money, success, etc etc etc. Why not open our arms and welcome what could come to pass? Yet, it seems our arms are so stiff in the motion of just one more time. As you age and your 'battle scars' appear, it seems that motion gets a bit more wearisome, but deep within the desire for 'more' burns bright and so slowly... we open up ourselves, our heart, our life to what might be. Never knowing if it is or isn't the "right" choice to make, but stepping out in faith that if you don't...
you might never know.
Unfortunately this process is never one-sided and you can never deem how the human spirit will receive the process of another. Some may be on the same path as you and embrace willingly and fully and then others may desire to have the same, but are just unable to do so. Maybe their journey does not include you, or maybe you were just there for a brief moment to show them what could lie ahead in their course, IF they are willing to step out at a later time. The cycle of life is not broken until it is time and within this continuum, we continue to grow, experience what it is to truly live and love, and thus, feel the depths of loss, heartache, joy and success.
That is just life though... sometimes you soar and others you just have to hold onto the ride.
Oh, Sarah.. how you said it all between the lines.

"It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth -- and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had." ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

"A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." ~Albert Einstein
