The Pull

Receiving the gift of FINALLY understanding, oneself.

Centered and gentle with yourself and others, amid chaos.

Resting in faith, amongst misunderstandings, passed judgments, uncertainties, and poor health.

Understanding that people, places, and situations, all have a season and accepting this as change and not betrayals.

Calmer. Less reactive. Centered. Present. Watchful.

No rush. No hurry. No striving. Restful. Relaxed. Thriving.

What are you doing?! You can’t do it! It doesn’t make sense! You’re spiteful.

So is life. So full of strife.

Are we thriving…

or just surviving?

You take a breath. You find your center.

What happens next? Will it leave you better?
