Maybe not where you stand, but what’s at your core. The fibers that wind together to form the strong ties to the emotional, spiritual, wonderful you. Tie them deep into what you know, what you’ve experienced. Let your soul dwell in the thoughts of being held while still able to run through the tall grass of a hillside meadow.
Embrace the rainy days as they wash over the landscape of your vision, making it sometimes hard to fathom the existence of a sun piercing blue and purple skies that eventually fade into night. Embrace the storms. The beautiful cacophony of sound, experience, tears that roll in and break the scenic vistas of ‘our’ hopes and plans. Embrace the pain as the storms swell, and the healing that will eventually come.
Embrace the work that comes and hold tight to the vision that maybe only you see. Only you can explain and make work. Embrace the failures that surely will come. And pick yourself up and brush off the comments that are meant to hurt, to wound or to just flat out insult your dream.
Embrace hope in something bigger. Your god, your faith, your science, your statistics. Believe it with everything you have. Make it become something real, if only in you.
Embrace the ones who embrace you. Their quirks and flaws and frail humanity. Take them when they roar and when they need. Take TIME to be the friend, the family that you would want them to be. Embrace THEM. Touch them, hug them, breathe life into them with your presence.
Take the embrace of a child who needs a hug after falling and skinning a knee.
Take the embrace of an elder who needs to know the world still exists even when their mind can’t fathom the day.
And take the warm embrace that comes when saying goodbye to a new friend.
