Day 115j: A next serendipitous Sanctuary … (August 22, 2019)

And then came the rain – and then came my next offered refuge therefrom thereafter …

From the time we are small children, we are taught that the path is more important than the obstacles that appear upon it. We are told to focus on the destination rather than the journey, and repeatedly hear the story of the phoenix rising from the ashes. And yet in hearing these tales and learning these lessons, we fail to be told an equally important facet of Truth – the facet that reminds us that it is being risen that is our success, but rather the choice to rise and fight on for Justice; that it is not in attaining a goal after fighting through a hardship that is our ultimate victory, but rather the simple choice to continue on anyway for Love, and this regardless of any potential success or victory we might well come to know thereafter.” ~ inspired by Shelby Forsythia
