Out of the cellar

Crawling out of the cellar is no fun.   Everything has a purpose…and opportunity to learn. It is hard to remember that when we are face down in the mud.  And oh we want something, someplace, someone to pick us up and clean us up and make us whole…. The bottle, the lover, the new travel destination, job etc..  The hardest thing we do as a friend, lover, or parent is stand and watch our love struggle.  The challenge is there as a challenge and if we jump in and rescue… it diminishes the universal gift of opportunity to learn.  Life is simple.  Each person, alone, as a soul, comes to this world with a mission to love and learn and become all they can become.   We grow up with the tale of the “white knight” or “fairy godmother” making it all better..fixing it…. No Cinderella…this is your life.  It is your cup to be half full or empty. We are given people, places, and opportunities to experience life so that we can become our soul’s purpose.  It is great when you have someone to walk with you for a long time down your life path… to bounce your quiet moment ideas with.  Someone who does not take away your doubts, but helps you find the solid ground so you can think clearly.  A true love waits and encourages and does what they can to bring you resources, materials, people etc.. but then steps aside so you can walk your own path.  Cheer leaders do not play the game but encourage and help celebrate the victories and the losses.  Be grateful for all the support, big as a mate or small as a person passing that smiles, that comes your way to help you remember that you are never given more than you can handle.   You just may have to step back and handle life in a new way. Your choice.
