please remember when your feeling lost in the world

"This sense of shared weakness creates what is truly a community. Participants in such a setting learn to appreciate rather to resent strengths in others because we they know that, at bottom, that they are the same- flawed and imperfect. Those who do not recognize shared weakness see in others' strengths as a threat. But those who recognize shared weakness see in others' strength as hope: the hope that your strengths might also support me, With shared weakness as our common bond, we can rejoice in another person's strengths rather than be threatened by them." -- the spirituality of imperfection.

he pushed them,

and they flew. - Apollinaire.

Everything terrifying is, in its deepest being, something helpless that wants our help. - Rainer Maria Rilke.

So long as I cling, I found that I am bound. Sometimes I feel as if the black wave comes to wash me away, but I resist with all i've got. I have tools to survive; friends, family and love. Like droplets of love, I have reached out and survived on the all droplets of goodness I have experienced. To have everything you ever wanted and still wanting more, I have found that the only thing I truly lack is the perception to be grateful and enjoy this moment. All we have is today, the now, to become the people we truly desire to be. In my sadness I am distracted from this progression, I am unable to grasp the words that I had once said to make myself better. Once the wave dies down I am able to continue my journey with clear eyes and understanding. All we crave is control, control over the things around us and our destiny, but destiny has its own course we must follow. We do not find happiness but create it. Let today be a creation of this better self, to progression and productivity. To create and embrace our own experiences we share them and by sharing them with others we inspire.
