Hope unearthed

At the end of the year, I still find myself unable to put my experiences into words, knowing that though I have grown so much, probably the most in a single year, the implications of these changes have yet to reveal themselves in the months and years to come.

I have seen how each of my dreams is slowly come true, watched how people I've waited for so long are beginning to take root in my life, seen how hope is a real thing and how it can change a life...

I am blessed.

Floor mop

How quickly we descend into darkness sometimes, but sometimes, just as quickly, a way beyond it, a resolution, a point of insight is revealed.

Sometimes, it is revealed in the most unlikely of places by the most ordinary and unseemly messengers.

This time it was a floor mop.

You hold the mop in your hands and driving it along the floor, you watch how it directs the soapy water, how it moves along the tile-lined floor. You realize that if you try to do it your way, to force your direction into it, you scatter the soap into all sorts of directions and end up defeating your purpose. But when you listen to the moment and yield to the flow of the water, and let the mop follow this will ... what arises is an energy not reducible to each but actually arising because of the joining of each.

Yes ... thy will be done.
