When we are in the midst of a horrific struggle, it can feel like we ARE the struggle. It can feel like one struggle in a lifetime of struggles. How do we separate our self from our life?
We remember. We remember that for every struggle we found a way through it; and we remember that nothing more is required of us. And, we remember what we learned from it, and that we are still learning from it.
The learning was always going to last a lifetime.
And somewhere in the struggle, we remember that we don’t have to fight. We don’t have to resist. We can see the lesson. And even when we’ve yet to understand the lesson, we can trust the lesson.
We can stop struggling. And when we stop, there IS no more struggle. There is only love …
Smiling on us,
