lessons learned

In the midst of winter I found there was within me an invincible summer,

and that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me,

within me, there’s something stronger, something better, pushing right back.

~Albert Camus

how I find new ways of being here….

inquiry for today~ how will you know how to be?

when life unravels slowly….

And as the light creeps slowly,

back into our lives,

it shines warmly

on the lessons learned

in the shadows.

Through our struggles

and moments of uncertainty,

we discovered the strength

to keep hope alive,

holding tight to the belief

that brighter days lay ahead.

With each ray of light,

Our eyes open wider

to what truly matters

on this beautiful journey

we call life.

And so we find ourselves

reflecting,

on the burdens we carried,

choosing to let go

of that, which no longer serves us.

Instead, we embrace

the lightness of our spirits,

honouring our true selves

as we move forward.

The wisdom gained

in the darkness guides us,

reminding us,

that every challenge

has shaped who we are today.

With gratitude in our hearts,

we step into this new chapter,

eager to share joy, love, and kindness,

ready to embrace the world

with renewed purpose

as the light returns.

~C.E. Coombes
