Personally I belive that we all learn from life in all kinds of situations.
Especially in hard times I feel that life can be closer to me than ever.
Through those times I see my soul being transformed and shaped in deeper waters.
I think something picturing this in a beautiful way in nature is the lotus.
The lotus is a flower that blooms in the mud. The thicker and deeper the mud, the more beautiful the lotus blooms.
YOU SHALL THANK
You shall thank your gods,
if they force you to go
where you have no footprints
to trust to.
You shall thank your gods,
if all shame on you they pin.
You must seek refuge
a little further in.
What the whole world condemns
sometimes manages quite well.
Outlaws were many
who gained their own soul.
He who is forced to wild wood
looks on all with new sight,
and he tastes with gratitude
life's bread and salt.
You shall thank your gods,
when your shell they break.
Reality and kernel
the sole choice you can make.
~Karin Boye
Yes, very true.
ReplyDeleteYou are the one person you are 100 % sure you are going to have a lifelong relationship with, so you better stand up for yourself

And it`s in the hard paths climbing upwards that you are progressing in that very same direction.
