Even the sun herself will envy our light

We all encounter moments of self-doubt

We will hold loneliness by its hand and dance on its toes.

We will stare at the ceiling unnecessarily for hours

before finally falling asleep.

If sleeping at all...

 

We will clothe ourselves in sadness, and we will feel its weight bearing down upon our shoulders.

We may spend days, weeks, years even, yearning for a breakthrough...

 

But one day, we will release the loneliness from between our fingertips, and we will slip off the heaviness as gracefully as the trees shed their foliage on a colorful autumn day.

And instead of mourning what we've lost, we will rejoice for all of the space we've created to allow something more beautiful to take its place.

 

And that isn't to say we won't still feel the harshness of a brisk winter. We were never promised a life without suffering.

But one day, a bud will spring forth to remind us what it feels like to flourish and even the sun herself will envy our light.
