Today I was consumed by sadness. A sadness so deep that it caused an ache all over my body. Have you ever felt that? A deep sadness that over takes you? As I attempted to fight this overwhelming feeling I felt myself sinking deeper into it. Finally I relented, I allowed it to over take me, I let it wash over me and around me and I felt it in every inch of my being. I didn't know why, I didn't know how and I didn't know when it would stop. But when I picked myself up and sat in the beauty that surrounds me I felt that sadness washing away. It was replaced with a feeling of resolve, of survival. Another lesson of leaning into the discomfort of our emotions, feeling it, allowing it and surviving it. Makes me believe that anything is possible, the human spirit is indomitable.
It is often darkest just before dawn.
