37 Days of Sunsets
A Glorious Light Process
Day 27: A reflection on the journey so far
In this photo of the sunset, I’m standing all the way in the back, smiling and jumping up and down, where the light is the brightest.
However, before this journey, you could see my sad face toward the front, the darkness trying to pull me in—
Single parenthood, health and money issues left me vulnerable to the entrapment of darkness.
While I don’t have everything figured out yet, I have traveled far and done so fast with the help of the light. I am hopeful for the future.
Reflecting on the past 26 days, I feel gratitude seeping out of my pores.
Times have been hard for the longest while. If it wasn’t one thing, it was another. It has felt like an endless tumble in grass burdened with burweeds. Every step I took stung — ouch! And just like it doesn’t make sense for a bee to be stung, my suffering was the same — senseless.
One version of a past me, who I dearly appreciate and have empathy for, lacked sense.
I was new to many experiences and hadn’t created an arsenal of lessons learned because I had yet to make the mistakes.
