Life's Mysteries

This world is amazing. We absorb so much more than we realise. I don't even try to comprehend it anymore.

There is so much joy in the embrace. And in coming to places of peace, stillness, wonder, and awe; knowing that it is all that and so much more.

I love the feeling of contentment that softly befalls upon my face in those moments. The sparkle I feel radiating from my eyes. And the jump my heart feels as my arms spring into the air in delight.

Moments of true beauty, joy, and timelessness.

This world is beautiful. Hard to swallow at times, but without fail, a world that continues to be consumingly lovely.

A dear friend wrote a song about the wonderful paradox we call life; and the tensions and pressures we contend with everyday.

In such moments, one can't help but wonder how honest we truly are with ourselves in seeing the implications of our response; not only to ourselves but to those around us. And whether we have the strength of will, the tenacity of foresight, and the fuel of faith to realise the places pain or pride may lead.

Like Deb, I believe the answer resonates clearly in the mystery of surrender.

Join me. In the this wonderful and beautiful discovery. We call life.
