WE DON’T SURVIVE LIFE, WE JUST LIVE IT!
WE DONT SURVIVE LIFE. WE JUST LIVE IT. ON PURPOSE.
We don’t really survive....we add to the color pallet of this masterpiece of existence.
This life...this gift....this purpose...this pain...our destiny.
We bleed and scream, and are crushed and scarred, and ripped apart..
We dance, and make love, and eat that cake, and buy that dress, and scream, YES!
Even when the world screams, No!!
And sometimes we give in to the darkness of things we cannot control and we sink into the earth that we were molded in and we shut our eyes in the darkness and we die a million deaths....like a seed ...like a womb....but then that sweet aroma of hope creeps in...that light from a laugh, a memory, a song mingles with the watering of our tears and of our drooling lips that can’t take anymore and the seed pushes forth new life..
WEW SURVIVE EVERYDAY.
WE WEAR THE WEIGHT OF OUR EXPERIENCES AND WE SHED THE OLD SKINS AS WE CONTINUE ON THE PATH.
WE WRITE OUR NAMES ON THE metaphoric trees of life BECAUSE WE WERE HERE!!!! BECAUSE WE MATTER!!!!
And we share our tales...no different than those of others...and we find similarity IN each other’s gray hairs...wrinkles...scars....blood....knee bending grief....but we also find family in each other’s joy!!!
We overcome and we expand and we grow and we reach our branches that are heavy with fruit towards the other trees in our forests....and we become a significant blanket of breathing for the world...the generations....the next day.
And when we spill our fruit we know we’ve lived. We aren’t survivors...we are merely gifted with all of the breadth and width and aroma and challenge and joy of LIFE!!!
GOD AND GRIEF AND LOVE HAS PASSED US THE BATON TO CARRY TO OUR OWN FINISH LINES!!!! What is written on that baton is that the love of humanity is imprinted in all hearts because it is the very DNA of God.
Purpose.
Live full before you pass that baton- run until you walk walk until you crawl and crawl until you
Rest - but live fully and die on empty.
Give it all. Be touched by the feelings of others infirmities. Be connected by relatability and compassion and mercy and grace.
As Maya Angelou said - “there is no greater agony than beating an untold story inside of you.”
Your story is written in your seed.
Seed equals potential
Don’t be fearful for it paralyses
Don’t be cynical for cynics can change nothing
Don’t overthink
You cannot predict the future
Try anything
Do something
Follow your inner voice
Always be both student and teacher
And remember- no matter how old you get- the key to staying young is to never embrace the idea “ I used to be” but “What i am becoming?”
Life is evolutionary
You are always still becoming
Each day is the evolution of you
So examine your life
Because an I examined life is not worth living
It takes broke branches to make a nest
Every broken branch must find their strength and purpose as a intertwined interwoven branch of support to create the nest of healing necessary to promote the ascension and launch of eagle uprise which is to spread out before the nest and allow the-eaglets to mount up and fly higher than their fees would initially allow until they are capable of soaring on their own.
With each strength we send the eagles out into the wilderness and to the places on the earth where people are in need of ascension, thus expanding the nest and expanding the purposeful destiny of humanity.
We are all eagles simply awaiting our ride on the backs of others to the higher places of our destiny.
