Beneath it all, life does rock

If life was like this train track, I would not complain about the coarseness, the coldness, the unattractiveness, but instead I would focus on the one flower and find beauty in it.

Life fills me with awe sometimes, the happiness, the sadness, the anger, the hurt, the frustrations – all of it – I am often left speechless when I ponder everything that I’ve been blessed enough to have experienced. Even at times when life seems overwhelmingly bad, I just know that it makes me the person that I am, and that without it I would be somehow lacking.

Sometimes at the train station, as I am waiting by the tracks, for some reason, I feel this sense of serenity, the crisp air, the flawless sky, the gentle breeze, it’s almost majestic. Just like the path that we’re served in life, although it’s never always the way we anticipated or even wanted, or always beautiful, it’s somehow just right for us.

So, no matter what’s happening in your life, stand in the rain sometimes, look up at the stars, breathe, find beauty in everything, love without expectation, and be at peace.
