Just Let It

on
Art by Adriana Handeri

Accepting that life will always be a work of art in progress overwhelms me some days.  Yesterday, the thought brought me comfort, but today?  Today, I feel like the thought has its hands around my neck and I can't breathe.

My soul whispers, "Lean into change. You are safe, you are protected, you are guided."  While this brings me some level of comfort, all I can do is cry today.

Reminds me of that L. Boogie lyric, "What you want might make you cry, what you need might pass you by if you don't catch it. What you need ironically will turn out to be what you want to be if you just let it."

I am in the process of just letting it.  Today, that process feels painful.

I won't sit in this long, but I do find power in acknowledging my feelings in real time.  The evolution of who I am becoming as I accept who I am now has always been a little hard for me.

I get stuck in the imperfections of self.  However, I am quite aware that I am blessed and highly favored in ALL things.  Even the areas that people would look down on me for, I believe those things are where I will gain the most knowledge in how to manage this thing called life.

What I will learn today, what I have learned in the past, and what I will continue to learn in the future will bless people in ways that I've never dreamed - if I just let it.

I accept it.
