Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.
She tried to capture what it felt like. But she couldn’t find the words. How do you capture it when it wears so many different faces, hums so many different melodies, listens & speaks & pulls you in?
It’s like the sun—the way it warms my skin, calms my soul in an instant. How it clothes me in light & wraps me in peace—an all too distant friend.
It can be a wave—pushing you away and pulling you back in—complicated, but mesmerizing. Enticing us to figure out its depths, to swim deeper, to trust & understand what comes and what goes.
It’s the sound of laughter from family & friends—a song that connects one soul to the next—a song every language understands.
It’s a text that reads, “I’m proud of you” or “I was just checking in”—a smile that stretches across your face when you think of them.
It is brave. It is knowing you’re afraid, but you’ll do it anyway. It’s knowing there are risks, and there will be pain, but choosing to embark on the adventure that awaits. A journey that feeds your soul in the most invigorating ways.
It is a feeling and it is a choice we make everyday. To love who we are—to love those around us—to love the lives we’re living.
It can be loud, but it is intimately quiet. It sneaks in during unexpected moments, in extraordinary ways, in the silence of our every day.
And I hope—oh, I hope—that I will have the heart & eyes to recognize it as it comes my way.
