Part of something Big

<365 Days/1 Year>

We are small and insignificant underneath a God-etched landscape of stars.  We are travelers on this highway meeting many fellow pilgrims along the way.  We are colorful kaleidoscopes of passion and flame; hunger and thirst.

We breathe, we live, we believe.

No matter what belief system you take, you are part of this.  Everyone comes together to be part of a larger tapestry of hurts and woes, gladness and light; the pull and the push of striving, surviving and just fucking getting by sometimes.

We all are here.  We can grow and become; we can shrivel and wilt.  Or meander in the betweens…

I’ve meandered a greater portion of my life.  Stuck in hurts and disillusionment, fighting to breathe - hell fighting just to fight at times.  My rudder was finally corrected (just slightly) back in 2006.  An adjustment that opened me up and made me start talking about life.  Which meant talking about the past as well.  All of my past!  And over the next 14 years I thought I was getting better.  In many ways I was, but it wasn’t until last year, when I was at my worst that I truly realized just how small I was.  And instead of curling up, making myself smaller and dwindling away, I was given life. 

I looked up…

(Take my hand -

Trust me)

Looking up I am still always amazed at how I am a small part of this great universe.  An ‘ant marching’, a dandelion seed drifting on the wind, a speck of sand drifting between the ocean and the shore.

And I breathe in each day knowing that my small part is as significant as the largest mountain.  Because we all have significance.  We all have our stories and they unite in this big cosmic mass of who we are.  Who all of us are.

Good, bad or ugly, we all exist here together.

Parts of a whole.

Part of something Big.
