Life offers us changes ~

It might feel like an end to the world

but there is no end,

not really.

Only new places, new locations, new vistas

and realities,

to see, and to experience.

~

Sometimes it is hard and we wonder how we got here.

Which doors we took,

which ones we were meant

or never meant,

to open ~

~

But it isn't in the doubting. Or in the questioning.

Rather,

it's in the full inhabiting of one's life.

~

The standing in where we are ~

With the wind in our face,

the sun bright against our skin,

and the darkness waiting, always,

at the horizon...

~

Here, we can take up the pen,

and begin to write our own story.

~

Perhaps it will be a comedy. Maybe a tragedy.

As we step wholly into the pages of our life,

what will it be?

~

Perhaps we were idiots

or were betrayed.

Maybe we became full of pride, or victimhood.

Maybe we became lost,

or grew full

of our own importance.

~

Perhaps we were masters for a time.

Fell in love.

Joy.

Bliss,

Grief,

or into madness.

Maybe we made errors of judgment whose hard lessons

we must learn,

or now must pay for.

~

Or maybe there is a harvest.

Shining rich and golden as we step up, to the precipice.

Ready to gather its fragrant wheat into our arms

after so many long years

of waiting.

~

This is Life.

And Life awaits our presence, not our safety.

Not our hesitation.

~

Between life's hard covers,

from its beginning

and to its inevitable end ~

Smile.

Embrace.

Give.

Do not live in fear,

even as they tell us that is all there is.

~

Laugh.

Even in the darkness.

Even in the question.

Even through our tears.

~

Live.

For we are here a short time, and maybe it is a tragedy.

Maybe it is an opera,

(or just a Grand Comedy),

or the story stands as a spectacular fall from grace.

~

But do not let it be nothing.

~

All these things mark our place in time,

and are initiations into Wisdom.

Live it, (don't be afraid), and live it grandly.

Even the mistakes.

Even the cold

and the lost alleyways.

Even if it means knowing that one slip,

and our soul may go home.

(For one day, our soul must go home).

~

The Great Book of our Life, must be our life.

The Great Story of Being, our own.

Read it. Breathe it.

Write it.

Turn off the fear on the television

and turn in love

to those around you.

~

For this ~ this here is our story -

every page, spark

word,

every breath.

~

For in the soul ~

every moment is fire.

~ Rachel Alana (R.A Falconer)
