Really! And how do I know? Because I learned
from the greatest teacher ~ Life.
all the good
all the bad
sifting through frayed fragments
my view fogged and blackened
until I choked on my own thoughts
gasping for air, for light
and when I gave in, unable to breathe
sunlight filtered in under my eyelids
oxygen filled each cell of my body
my eyes opened ~
and I knew.
“I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.”
~ Maya Angelou
I know the very worst
is not the only option.
Every time uncertainty looms,
I know the very worst
is usually a phantom wraith
Every time uncertainty looms,
I know the very worst
challenges my courage.
Every time uncertainty looms,
I know the very worst
may already have happened.
Every time uncertainty looms,
I know the very worst
is not the only option.
“You have as many options as you give yourself.”
~ Kasie West, The Distance Between Us
Chances are, if the other shoe did drop,
it may be like Cinderella’s glass slipper ~
a perfect fit and filled with the magic of life.
To step into that shoe and then into the other
puts soul into each of life’s tasks
bringing joy, purpose and glitter to each day.
“Chances don’t approach you, it’s you who approach chances.”
~ Toba Beta
