We’re always moving away from something and towards something simultaneously.
It’s the nature of life to cycle.
For the moon to wax and wane.
For the tides to wash in and out.
For the sun to rise and set.
For the seasons to change.
For our bodies to wake and sleep.
It’s the nature of life to have one step in front and one step behind.
For a new flower to be blooming as an old one falls off.
For a door to close as a new one opens.
For life to be born on the day death arrives.
As we’re saying goodbye to one year now, another one is about to say hello.
Can we own them both – the goodbyes and hellos? the births and deaths? the blooming and shedding? the rising and setting?
Is it not unrealistic nor living within natural laws to wish one only good times? Is life not made of polarity?
Rather may we wish one another the grace to be with the sun, the moon and the tides of our own life and those we love.
May we have people to sit with us by the shoreline, holding our hands, as we traverse the shifting seasons.
May we take the time to inhale the sweet scent of the new blossoming flowers as we also witness the old ones exhale and fade to mulch.
This is my wish for 2022 🙏🏻❤️
