Re: Dreams

Times like these are when one door closes and no new window or door is open yet. Times like these make you learn to surrender, to learn patience and to learn about the metal in your soul.

Times like these require you to pledge yourself to the spiritual course of your life again. Times like these make us more than we were by denying what we had.

Times like these are for driving 10 hours through a blizzard on dangerous roads to visit a child in the hospital and take another to the hospital. Times like these are to do yoga in the hospital and to journal and reflect and pray and listen to spa radio and remember to breathe.

Times like these teach me and I gain insights. I become wise. Times like this are beautiful in a painful ways. Times like these come again and again no matter what previous challenges have come and how much you thought you had paid your dues.

Times like these are living.
