A whole new rhyming pattern today...
Growth: they say it comes in spurts;
Oft resulting from some hurts
With a cause that no one knows.
Never doubt that pain is good.
Like deep scars that mar the wood,
It leaves a mark, then goes.
What is left behind grows stronger.
Now afraid to grow no longer.
A new you has thus emerged.
Accept the trials in your life.
Welcome all the pain and strife.
Ultimately all is purged.
See the glory in the pain.
Love the sunshine and the rain.
This is life with all its faces.
You are on this earth to grow.
Even if progress is slow.
There are no special cases.
All are loved the same.
Without judgment, without blame.
On to Heaven do you go.
Life’s a journey of discovery.
Sometimes ugly, sometimes lovely.
So many ways true growth to know.

We are reminded today to be thankful for the hardships in life. I catch myself often saying, "I am tired of learning." I smile at myself because I know inside that greater joy is ahead. This, too, shall pass. "Life's a journey of discovery, sometimes ugly, sometimes lovely" is a profound statement of truth.
ReplyDeleteBut notice the reassurance in the next to the last stanza that "All are loved the same..." I feel the message of "oneness" here for sure.
On to discovering and growing with gratitude today...
Yes,our daily experiences help build our lives for tomorrow. Trials and tribulations help us to grow and discover "like deep scars that mar the wood". Our tatoos and pain help us to change and guide us to find ouselves through perseverence...
