Happy Sunday!
Life is moving so very fast. It often does in December.
The past few days I have been lost by how trivial my life is...
How trivial and selfish my own issues are...
It doesn't for a moment make me question the power of the concept of harmony.
It does make me want to figure out how to communicate it better... so that you can see that it's not just about handling the little stuff... but the very, very, very biggest of the situations that you face.
This simple concept of harmony can apply to how you resolve a single, simple conversation at work, and it can assist you with dealing with the loss of your closest loved one.
I also believe that the pain we feel is so often the same pain for a simple difficult conversation and the loss of someone we love. One is just a momentary dose, and the other is a serving of pain that can last days, weeks or sometimes even years...
The pain of disharmony...
The pain of wishing something that was, wasn't...
Or, the pain of wishing something that has happened, hadn't...
And, one philosophy works for resolving both.
There is pain, sadness, joy, love... everywhere. We get to experience it, live it, and feel it... often all of it at once.
I am grateful for how trivial my life is lately.
I try to be grateful from how full my life is...
I feel the pain, the sadness, the hope, the love of those I love...
And, it makes my life more meaningful and my desire to continue to speak, to apply and to live harmony more pronounced.
So much of my life feels like a sprint...
And, in that sprint, I find moments of clarity...
so many clear moments... that I try hard not to miss.
Those are the moments that keep me sane...
Those are the moments that allow me to love...
Those are the moments that remind me who I am...
And, why I am...
This morning, by my Christmas tree, as the family sleeps...
And, I write to you,
I am home, I am grateful, and I am in harmony.
