Balanced Blessings

Angelique Tulip, photo mine

There’s a light, even in utter darkness. A gift in the midst of suffering. Hope in the bleakest despair. There’s a truth in the clammering chaos. A comfort in despondency. Clarity in confusion. There’s a miracle lurking in your loneliness. Sweetness in bitterness. Acceptance in betrayal. Compassion in apathy. Freedom in desperation. Healing in wounded-ness. Honor in dishonesty. Knowing in illusion.

There’s a Love you can follow forever. A memory as close as your breath. A delight you return to, again and again. A Joy which outlives even death. There’s a bright bird singing in a dead tree. For you, who has known great sorrow. There’s a resounding echo in your prayer for Peace. A pearl of great price, in your Luminous soul. A wild stallion in your Courageous heart. A Forgiveness which renders you whole.
