New Life Will Come To You
Fall is upon us. The golden leaves hang precariously from the branches of the trees. Sometimes hanging as precariously as we feel. Then without warning they let go. They allow their journey to the ground.
This is like our releasing into this grieving and letting go. We hang on, with all we have, to that precious life. The need to hang on is deep within our being. One day, it becomes time to let go. We let go, but not of the beauty of the life; but we let go of the depths of our pain. We allow…
First, there is a time where we hang on the branches of the tree. We are there quite a while. In time, our grieving changes, transforms into a different color. Later we allow our loved one to release into the ground.
As we release, room is made for new life. We can enter into life in a new way. The beautiful leaf of the life of our loved one is allowed to go into the ground. We open to new life .
All this takes time. This “allowing” does not happen immediately. It is a process, sometimes every so gently as a leaf; sometimes harshly like an ocean wave. In time we heal and in time we open. But first we must hurt.
May it comfort you to know that you will not hurt this deeply forever. One day you too will be able to allow and release. New life will come back to you…in time.
Peace to your struggle…
Peace to your grieving transformation…
Peace to your falling leaves…
