I learned a vital skill, as a child. I had to.
Finding peace.
Amidst contradiction.
Am I in deep pain? Yes.
Overwhelmed by grief? Yes.
Is there a crater-sized hole in my heart? Yes.
And:
Did I love watching the sunrise? Yes.
Am I deeply happy and grateful? Yes.
Is tomorrow going to be just exquisite? Yes.
When you have learned how:
Both can be true. Simultaneously.
The Darkness – and – Delight.
Peace in contradiction.
This pic was taken by Bruce Relly many years ago. I was rowing a little ARK duck off Rooi Els.
I called the pic, back then: “The Road to Happiness”.
Exactly.
Peace in contradiction is indeed:
“The Road to Happiness”.
