"Burden and blessing ~
two blossoms
on the same branch.
To be so lost
in this radiant wilderness."
Gregory Orr
Complicated emotions are folded into creases of our daily experiences. Our body suit detects wrinkles in our armor, but lengthy diligence may be required before the discomfort can be hammered out. Even then, permanent dents may remain.
It is heart breaking to watch a soul wander in the wilderness in spite of the radiance. The eyes are cast down towards the dark soil, distorting vision and increasing pain. It is not until the song of the bird that one lifts the eyes toward the sky noticing hope blossoming on the branch.
Our damaged parts contribute to our over all well being. What once was a scar can be polished into a unique marking with stories to be told. It all comes down to choice and perception. If we can discover positive outcomes in spite of our burdens, life will blossom.
