Long time coming...it has been a year since I blogged or even wrote. It is always a lesson that brings me back to the comfort of letters that form words that roll into meaning...
I fell...or rather was pushed. Landed with hard....got up with scars...in fact I am still healing. Those who know me personally may notice the faded glimmer in my smile...yet that is life. When one denies self for the satisfaction of hope in others--it happens. Smiles fade. Hope floats in the distant. Joy supplants beneath downtrodden paths of good intention....just like the road to hell...
The greatest aspect of falling is the view. From down there all you see is up...if you willing to look up....that's all you see...Getting up is not without its challenges, yet they are easy when you put your weight in the push off and just get up again. While you think most folks are looking at you fall, they are really looking at how you get up. Everyone wants to learn the process. Secretly they have fallen too....they need your inspiration to even look up. Give them hope. Show them possibilities. Blaze the path.
I have physical scars on my hands from my fall. The ones in my heart cut a bit deeper. Yet I'm healing....slow in motion...but it's forward motion....my smile is filling out...I'm grabbing hope daily in my confessions of peace, grace, and growth....
