Daybreak
The day her heart broke
differently
than before
she paused
realeased
her breath
and saw instead
a nesting doll
opened.
And she wondered
how many years she had
wasted
staring
at eggshells
when there was
a new
precious
beginning
to be nurtured.
Sometimes all we need is a shift in our perspective. To look away from what is causing pain or suffering and to look toward what is beginning, to what is good and just as equally true. They are both there. It is really just a matter of choosing to look. So today, take whatever heartbreak, whatever obstacle or challenge you are struggling with and hold it up to the light. See what else shines there. Even in the darkest night, there is a spark. Live true and find it.
“Sometimes the obstacle is in the way. Sometimes it is the way. It’s important to ask, ‘Is this stopping me or showing me?'”
