We want to believe
that if we set our intentions
to develop
into the sort of people
we need to see in the world,
that life,
or the universe,
or whatever,
will resonate with
the precise
tools and opportunities
needed to do so,
to facilitate
the love and learning–
this learning to be human–
this connection
we crave so badly
in our beautiful little lives.
And if you’d asked yourself
six months ago
where you would be
in this moment,
every five-year plan
under the sun
could not predict
how brightly you’d shine,
how you’d erupt
in full color,
and sure,
there are gray days
and happiness was never a promise
or an end state, understand,
life is a series
of arrivals and departures.
So say thank you
to the lessons that leave scars,
the darkness, the mundane,
and oh, the joy!
It’s all essential.
It brought you here,
it paid for your resilience,
and your soul is so beautiful right now–
The art of becoming
is the art of letting go.
It’s trust.
