One of my girlfriends who paved the hard path I find myself following now sent me a wonderful quote:
"Let yourself begin anew. Pack your bags. Choose carefully what you bring, because packing is an important ritual. Take along some humility and lessons from the past. Toss in some curiousity and excitement about what you haven't learned. Say your good byes to those you're leaving behind. Don't worry who you will meet or where you will go. The way has been prepared. The people you are to meet will be expecting you. A new journey has begun. Let it be magical. Let it unfold."
--Journey to the Heart Daily Meditations
So today I will journal about what I will bring on this next journey: humility will need its own enormous duffle bag. And the lessons? Whoo boy, I will need an entire cargo container for all the lessons I've learned in the last two weeks. All the things I wish I could redo, rephrase, rethink.
Today I am thankful for the Right Words that people are feeding me. Thank you so much for your loving support.
Those are beautiful, healing words. Molly had another very similar piece of hope on her blog, a quote from Maya Angelou:
ReplyDeleteEach of us has the right and the responsibility to assess the road which lies ahead and those over which we have traveled, and if the feature road looms ominous or unpromising, and the road back uninviting-inviting, then we need to gather our resolve and carrying only the necessary baggage, step off that road into another direction. If the new choice is also unpalatable, without embarrassment, we must be ready to change that one as well.
I hope your road ahead will be full of peace and light. xo
Beautiful, insightful, healing words, Holly and Molly. Trust Maya Angelou to know the RIGHT WORDS.
