So much excitement in the air
and dare I say happiness?
Exponential growth,
like a seed sprouting,
coming into my own.
Knowing, just knowing, that
life is good, on the right path,
falling into place.
I am blessed beyond measure
to be alive and will never
take anything or anyone
placed in my path
for granted again.
There is something about loss,
whether it be loved ones, hope,
dreams for the future,
or even losing oneself,
that forces a dark night of the soul.
Then comes reassessment
sometimes making it difficult to see
a way forward.
When gratitude steps in
and desolation is embraced,
the shadows are no longer frightening.
Instead of menacing,
the beasts are friendly.
After darkness is embraced,
one can see that
the world is one-dimensional
without shadows.
When shadows are present,
light can shine through the darkness
to create sparkle.

Lisa, your sharing of these thoughts connects with so many others. We all walk a different journey, but the excitement, shadows, and light are real and genuine for each of us.
