This week...
I have felt
more of my deep breaths.
the breeze on my face while sitting in the park with my son, and on a lift with my niece.
the strength of my body.
gratitude for so many aspects of my life...
I have been in awe of people, of mountains, of beauty...
And, I know all the while there are difficult, challenging, complex issues to be resolved...
It all happens at the same time.
We don't reach point in our lives where everything just GOES right...
We perhaps reach a point in our lives where we are simply grateful for all of it...
Even the things that don't go - our way...
Those things teach us great lessons, and often open up doors we would have never seen otherwise...
It's not about me, as much as I lose sight of that sometimes.
The world spins, and I get to ride along...
In some moments it spins in my direction, in others it spins away...
Maybe the concept of "flow" is real and powerful,
and simply "go with the spin", go where it takes you...
face the challenges, simplify the complexity, feel the burn and the pain and the joy...
keep learning, keep growing...
help those around you who need to be reminded...
And, always feel the breeze on your face...
the satisfaction in your own deep breath...
And the warmth in the connections that make
the journey
matter...
in harmony,
Nestor
