I am not entirely sure what I am here to say, if anything at all. I want to say something but I don't know what. I suppose it is a journey, a step, a moment that I am here to write about. I am realizing that each process in life, each step along the way, each day, each hour matters. We have the power to make good choices or bad choices, to do right or wrong, to move forward or to move back, all in line with the dance of the universe around us. (I just finished "The Alchemist" so I might be a little bit existential....) I am realizing that all of our moments impact other moments. Dan once told me that our stories interweave into the tapestry of other people's stories as well, the people we interact with, and it all creates one big tapestry of the world. I like that, because in knowing that we effect each other, it seems like we would be more open to helping rather than harming.
Yet, what about the times when we harm others and we don't mean to? When our actions negatively impact another? Does it still take two people to completely reconcile, or can one person come most of the way? How do we reconcile cracks in our world? I suppose through forgiveness, hope, and trust--leaning on the fact that time slowly heals the holes that we unknowingly dig ourselves into. Forgiveness is hard. I wish it were easy. I wish we could just wave our wand and be done with it. But maybe it is meant to be hard for a reason. Maybe it is hard because we learn along the way. Maybe it is also a journey.
Some thoughts for a Thursday afternoon.
