"Above all, be the heroine of your life.
Not the victim."
Nora Ephron
My favorite antique cup slipped from my hands and smashed to the floor. After a few seconds of disbelief, I scooped up the pieces. Even though it was obvious it could never be restored, I tried gluing it back together. Sadly, water seeped through the cracks. I felt stuck in the realization that it was gone for good.
As I believe in waking dreams, I began to wonder what message I was to receive. Perhaps I was meant to understand that things become broken and although repair can be a temporary fix, my focus needs to shift forward. Investing in what will never be the same, seems counter productive.
Symbolically, I felt the Universe was telling me that things do not stay the same, but there is a vast amount of potential looming in front of me. I can choose to mourn what has been lost or I can invest my curiosity into what is yet to come. I may not be able to change what occurs, but I can use my personal power to make creative advancement.
