Find Your Middle Ground

Haiku – the whole of life

I’m enjoying revisiting my thoughts posted on this day in previous years. Enjoy the gift of remembering and coming home to yourself. 💐

Choose the whole of life,
Night and day, bitter and sweet.
Find the key to peace.

~

When we accept that life is a series of highs and lows, and not the honeymoon we were hoping for, we find the key to living life in balance. We realize that what we are experiencing is simply a part of the whole. We can’t slice off the parts that we don’t want.

This whole and fractured life allows us to grow, find courage and meet its challenges. We appreciate the sweetness and find joy where before there was anxiety.
We embrace the freedom to be ourselves, coming from a place of contentment and peace.

We come home to a place I call our middle ground.

Namaste

    Seems to be lots to contemplate at the moment Val, those moments in time we touch on before heading off onto another path. A crossroads so to speak. Great post kind lady 🤗❤️🙏

    It was wonderful to visit your blog this evening. My walk away… we can’t slice parts of life away that isn’t how it works. Thanks for sharing your words.

    Love and peace to you,
