Practicing What I Preach
This is short but oh so sweet.
The answers to life's twists and turns aren't found in a book.
Not in a college class or a marriage proposal.
Not in a new relationship status on Facebook or a yoga retreat.
Things go wrong.
Plans rarely go the way you expect.
But, that. That right there; re-read it again so you feel the full affect of what I'm about to say.
That unexpected circumstance. Those wild opportunities and broken moments- they are the beauty of it all.
They are the answers.
Life is unexplained. Things happen, or don't. Take it from someone who has tried desperately her whole life to put her existence in some kind of box: it doesn't fit and thank goodness for that. If everyday was laid out with bullet points and timed activities, where is the love? The hope? The experience? Passion couldn't exist in that kind of world, and dreams? 'Fo get about it!
Nope, we are a lucky species full of misunderstanding and heartache and bliss.
Thank goodness for that.
