Sometimes simple stories that state the obvious, are all that need to be said.

I have been in such a melancholic state today, an uncomfortable feeling. Perhaps I am feeling the collective sadness of most people I know. I watched the sun slip, felt the shiver of the day silently vanishing. 

There are three things in life that people desire, this is health, wealth and love. Each of these things could whisper in and out of our lives like moths. Sometimes they are like bees and produce honey, other times they decay like the leaves at summers end. The change that we so struggle with, flits towards us whether want it or not. And here I sit with tears at all the changes. Tears of gratitude because of all the goodness, can be mixed with sadness of things that are slipping away.

I reflect on all that I love, from planet to people…

It is true that the only thing that really remains is love. What we do for love, how we made love to world, how love shone from our hearts, who we love. I will sleep tonight and awaken to a different world, I will continue changing. We are not the same people we were a few days ago. Our internal stories keep altering, and only we know what is written in each of our hearts. No one really knows you.

Do yourself a favour, tell someone your story, tell someone who will listen. You will be surprised at how little you know of yourself really. But begin somewhere.This exercise will open so much inside you that you will begin a journey that you have already taken all over again.  Only you can know yourself. And that in itself is a triumph, the triumph of living – knowing yourself sufficiently to want to alter and perceived shadows, embracing them enough so that through love, they may transform.  

Walk lightly with yourself...
