Life is a funny little place that likes to throw curve balls. It seems that you can be muddling through, stuck in second gear, trying to figure out just what it is that you are missing. What crucial point you have yet to grasp. Then, out of the blue, your point shows up at the door, in the grocery store, in the elevator, on tv; wherever really...the point is that it just appears.
It isn't necessarily that it is a person. Sometimes it is a song, or a series of songs. Sometimes it is a friend who happens to have the right words at the time. It may be a picture, a fleeting thought, a smile, a hug. This moment in time opens your eyes to the realization that you haven't been stuck; you have been living and learning and loving to the best of your ability and that you, just as everyone else, are beautiful, flawed, perfect versions of humanity.
The sense of relief that comes with these times in our life is often the precise release we needed. Without these minute epiphanies we can sit at the edge of an anxious precipice feeling as though the very next thing that travels into our universe is going to be the very thing that sends us plummeting off the edge. Instead, we get a small reprieve a shot of light showing is that it isn't that bad, and we aren't that far off the mark and that whatever thread we are currently weaving into our tapestry is still going to produce a beautiful result.
I love that my life is filled with these moments and that I have people who love me enough to go to the edges and back with me.
