Sorrow prepares you for joy

It violently sweeps everything out of your house,

so that new joy can find space to enter.

It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place.

It pulls up the rotten roots,

so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow

Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart,

far better things will take their place.

~Rumi

what does it mean to ride the wave?

inquiry for today~ your life reflects your lifetime of grief….

wild ride to hope…

In difficult times

carry something beautiful in your heart.

~Blaise Pascal
