I have just read this and these words feel so powerful .Please add any of your favourite powerful words
“The Journey
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice ~
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
“Mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do ~
determined to save
the only life you could save.”
― Mary Oliver
Very Nice Flowergirl!!!
I really loved that poem, loved the message!
Thank you!
“Radical Acceptance is the ability to face hardships with greater love and deeper awareness.
Contemplation shapes radical acceptance as a way to choose love and peace over anger and despair.
Begin by finding this within ourselves before helping others.
But little by little, as you left their voices behind, the stars began to burn through the sheets of clouds, and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own, that kept you company as you strode deeper and deeper into the world, determined to do the only thing you could do ~ determined to save the only life you could save.” love this, thanks for sharing Flowergirl(:

In response to flowergirl’s post:

I love when we hear messages of joyous love and safety…and it is the long time friendship we’ve nurtured with ourselves(:
