BEAUTY FOREVER REIGNS
Life is a mysterious journey with many unexpected curves that many times, leave us filled with insatiable yen to find the road we veered from. The road that contented our needs, fulfilled our desires, quenched our hearts, eased our wants, eradicated our desperation and provided for us love, understanding and tranquility.
Where once we traveled, we find ourselves deserted; where once we stood proud, we find ourselves standing alone without vision; where once hesitation ran insolvent, we stand burdened with reserve. We lose our hope, our aspiration; our inspiration to continue. We are left with inconsolable emptiness, irrepressible tears, dejection and fear.
New and uninvited riddles implant themselves within, leaving us feeling fraught and vulnerable. We search for answers, but often, cannot seem to find any that make sense. It is often then, that we lose our faith leading us to helplessness.
Whether our pain is begotten by others, self-inflicted, or otherwise, it is essential that we learn from our pain, as without pain, there would be no growth. Joy is remaining naïve less circumstance. It is important to always learn what is being taught to us by the event, and forget about the circumstance from which the lesson was learned. The circumstance is inconsequential.
Life’s tribulations seem to have an unparalleled ability to cause us to lose sight of the brilliance of who we truly are. Beauty is instilled, not begotten. Our magnificence is felt over what is seen, that is why the deaf can hear our hearts and the blind can see our light. Beauty forever reigns through our tears by giving thanks to all of those who have hurt us and to all of those who have helped us. Strength resurrects its posture when one is weakest, as it is our weakness that learns of faith and affords us the tenacity to move forward out of the dark.
My heart is the quill, for life be it my muse. Life has afforded me the gift of contemplating some of its many riddles and has blessed my spirit with the inspiration to always find my way to find beauty in the dark, the knowledge to soar and the strength to overcome.
