All I can do is chant to myself that I need to keep trying to see the beauty in the world because sometimes I fear the sadness will overwhelm and envelop me and I may never see the light again.
You must have been in my yoga class this week, because this is exactly what my teacher talked about: looking at our broken, chaotic, frustrating world with eyes that are capable of seeing everything as beautiful. If only it were so simple.
Love this chant. And I think it works, because even in all the sadness, there is beauty. It still may all make you cry, but still, you get the sense that the sadness is inevitably bound up with the beauty, and that makes it easier to take the next breath. xxxh
I can totally agree with you on this post. It's hard to see the beauty in the world sometimes and this chant is a perfect way to sort of snap yourself back.
Oh Suzy, you aren't alone and it does get better. A dear friend of mine lost a son 16 years ago and the pain does get better and it isn't so ever present. I am sorry you are feeling such pain right now. {{{Hugs}}}

Girl, I tell myself that everyday. Have you read the book Bouncing Back? I read it a couple weeks after losing Josey. It's not a BLM book, but I found it very inspirational and helpful. It's not all dark and depressing, but rather uplifting. I wrote about it on my first blog (http://journeytojosey.blogspot.com/2010/04/bouncing-back.html).
You can order the book from Amazon - (http://www.amazon.com/Bounce-Back-Book-Adversity-Setbacks/dp/B001RTS99W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1272027186&sr=8-2).
Hi Suzy, thanks for coming by my blog and reading my story. I hope that someone in your life does something beautiful for you. (I find that when things get dark I can only see what's right in front of me.)
Hey you.
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone.
Lots of love coming your way from a kitchen table outside of Chicago.
