do you believe we are in rhythm

I feel most connected to life outdoors, sharing space with dragonfly, wings open and powerful, soaring above and around, knowing our presence one to the other is shared space, each one swirling in the grace of magic

movement or stagnation, it is a choice, our moments each day offer a selection, it is never one, however based on our moment we may see only one if grief, pain, sorrow is deep, honoring this space we are in is critical in order to witness the moment of change, when we see we have a choice

eruption of anguish shifted me, pouring out my pain in the way I knew, in words, writing what I was hearing, eyes blurring by tears and yet I knew it was important, not just for me but for you as well, to share is to see a way through from the eyes of another in tears

in this step I shifted, I felt rhythm return, light brightened in my darkness, pain, grief, sorrow is darkness asking to be witnessed, my soul cried wept in this space of pain, waves of darkness swept over and through me, it is the process, moving through this darkness to get to you, your light, you are waiting for you

in this anguish as I wrote words I felt an energy, a surge of strength, fight, an awareness, inviting me to remember who it is I am, who I really am

a woman of great strength, great power, great joy, incredible creativity, wondrous imagination, holding a depth of love of hope unmeasureable, I am a mother, a sister, a daughter, a granddaughter, a niece, a wife, a widow, a woman of loss, a woman of wonder, I am a child of God, who created me to be exactly who I am, a being meant to be a reflection to all women saying, you are all of this and more, we are here together to honor each other with our stories, speaking of life, our greatest success our greatest loss, it is all of our moments that brought us to now

knowing we are each on a journey, to experience life, all of life, not just the easy fun parts, all of life includes the pain, loss, sorrow, devastation, making our way through one tear at a time, our rhythm does return, our true rhythm, our essence of who we really are and why it is we are here, opens

my friend the dragonfly carried me through my pain, showing me, I too had wings to fly, to soar above as below, honoring all of me, each aspect, showing me I had the power to see, witness, move into and through my darkness, to get to now, I was not alone, I am never alone, ever

and neither are you

always here, we are in this journey together, sharing our words, our stories, healing as one, we fly with dragonfly in rhythm with life receiving the magic our spirit seeks remembering the unique incredible soul we came here to be, soar with me on the wings of love hope inspiration, we fly as one through the sky with the wings of dragonfly, dreaming our dreams into life because to dream is to return to our souls magical rhythm within

still here … smile Nancy
