As I move through this new world I live in now, the world I have sought out and created for myself, I am brought to grateful tears by the the beauty, friendship, adventure, peace, grace, kindness, acceptance, appreciation and an overwhelming amount of love there is in this world, my world. I don’t need to avoid pain, I am supported now. I am in a safe place to feel pain and actually benefit from it. I have learned that pain doesn’t have to be vicious, and all consuming. It is safe to submit to it and learn from it what we are supposed to, go willingly where it takes us and not use all our energy thrashing around fighting it. This place we are in right now, is where we need to be, it may seem dark and scary but that too is for our benefit, even if we cant see it right now. Sometimes the only way to get to where we need to be is by going through a scary, lonely place where we are not in charge and our only choice is to submit.
