Do you look back and wonder how you survived those times?
Those times that it made no difference whether day or night?
Do you look back and wonder what kept you living?
Those times how come you didn’t imagine dying?
Do you look back and see just how you chose to live?
Those times when it was death of a thousand kind?
Do you now see the brilliance of Life?
New Beginnings as if awakened by a beautiful sunrise?
Don’t ever give up, keep going …
It is a miracle all that is waiting.

Coming from a placeless place forged from becoming, and out of the emptiness of the end… a surprise turn to newness. Thanks for lighting the way!

Wonderful message. It’s like we cannot see clearly ahead, until one day that something inside awakens. New life begins at that very moment, and we certainly wouldn’t have wanted to miss it.

Thank You. Yes as if all that dying and the pain becomes worth it, for what it brings as a New Life. That we don’t see clearly ahead is what brings up all and any fear and pain. Something keeps pulsing through and the awakening begins – a series of them I feel – or if we don’t look at it as a day/night count of 24 hours , it is a dazzling brilliance that keeps lighting up the time ahead of us. It is up to us how much we let go and receive and allow and nourish and rise up and choose to keep going. I am so grateful I didn’t miss these deaths and rebirths and have the willingness to keep going.

Me too. I’m glad you worked your way through it. It can seem abysmal when we are working our way through the darkness, but that is often the intervention needed to see our way into the Light.
Seeing clearly often lies side by side with fear and pain. Life is paradoxical this way, but sure worth it when the Spirit grows inside and opens the way into New Life. Fear and pain seems to evaporate, when the Spirit inside makes a beachhead. All we are left with is Light and understanding.

I understand this feeling of someone relating to what you wrote. Often we write, and what we write means many things to many people, and that is a wonderful gift as a writer. But when ‘your’ purpose and intent in a piece is shared by someone, that connection is made, and it is so rewarding.
I’m glad I could do that here. 🙂

Yes, not once but many times life gave me reasons to die but I’m glad that I was weak to choose death and brave enough to choose life. Now when I’m growing in terms of spirituality and understanding whole design of creation, I am able to understand the reasons behind those tests. It is all beautifully crafted life, either in pain or gain both. Wonderful words Pragal! Just like always food for thought. 😊👍
