The Bigger Picture

Yet another coffee date with Self took place as I sat staring at my salt lamp. The gentle amber light caressing the shadows. Bearing the gift of upliftment. Of serenity.  The house was quiet. Those within sound asleep.

Self spoke to me kindly. She knew I needed a dose of nurturing. Of wisdom. She spoke of patience. Of understanding. Of empathy. She spoke of being kind to myself. Of trusting myself. Of standing firm in my attitudes and deeds. Even though it may seem lonely at times.  

Self reminded me gently. But firmly. To keep an eye on the bigger picture when all seems so dark. When all seems impossible. For there is always purpose in the chaos. Clarity in the confusion. Healing in the anguish. 

There always exists a plan. A solution to every challenge. An answer to every question. When lessons are learnt. When the time is right.
