In our darkest hour, it might feel impossible to believe that something good could come of our pain.
In our moments of deep despair, we might see the world as an unsafe place for the tenderness of our hearts, and the ferocity of our love to be seen and held.
But my darling, life is not trying to break you down, it is trying to break you free.
If it’s true that we are all here to learn to love and to live fully, then it is also true that everything you experience is a doorway.
You are safe to enter.
It may feel like a very long journey, but if you keep your heart and eyes open you will see and feel the glimmers of hope along the way. Each smile from a stranger, each sunrise and sunset is there to help remind you of the simple blessings, guiding you back to love.
There is hope when you let the rain kiss your skin, or the birds sing their songs just for you.
There is hope, when the ocean crashes on the shores and you let the earth cleanse you of your sorrows.
When you let yourself be held by the very foundation in which you rest.
When you remember that you were never abandoned because love is all that you are.
Never forget the power of your intention, and the strength in your courage to forge a new path. To emerge from your cocoon as a butterfly, no matter how long it takes you to find your wings.
The tragedies and losses and heartbreaks you endure are not a punishment from God, or a sign that you are somehow broken or unworthy, or just not cut out to have what you want.
We all suffer, and we all come face to face with death – of dreams, of potential futures never birthed into being, of loved ones, of parts of ourselves we had to leave behind, of parts we’re still reclaiming.
This life is fleeting and in the end, all that matters is that you did what you came here to do – love. So please don’t close your heart for good, you are too precious to hide away forever.
Take your time, be with whatever it is you need to feel through, and when you are ready…come home.
