Ostara 10

See the path ahead. Pause and look at it as it beckons. Know that ahead is your destiny and your joy. Feel the inner resolve and the many changes that brought you to and prepared you for this moment. Breathe deep and feel the air of kindred fill your lungs and fuel your strength.

Then breathe even deeper and turn to look back at your own past. See it all. Good and bad. You carry much of it with you and it is time to leave it behind. See all the events but for the first time see them not as good or bad. There is good and bad in all and they should not be categorized as just good or just bad.

The things you thought were good were many. Love. Friendship. Connection to pets. The joys of moments of laughter. Even material goods made you feel happy. All good things. But bad as well as good loves moved onto to other plains without you. Friendships soured or faded. Pets that are not at this time for you. Laughter that came and went. Material goods that rusted and broke. Bad that they did. Good while it lasted.

The things you thought were bad were many as well. Abuses. Lies. Inconsiderate acts. Pain and illness. Helplessness as time ravaged loved ones and weaknesses crushed potential. Losses. All seemingly bad things. Yet good as well as abuses toughen awareness and resolve. Inconsiderate acts moved you to others versus the ones you thought important at the time. Pain and illness dissolved and made each moment sweeter when gone. Ravages fueled conquests over self and weakness. Loses spurred actions of change and resulted in higher levels of happiness.

All things meant to be so you are the one that stands here now and reviews them. See them not as good nor bad. See what was and is no more. Accept it. Dismiss the judgment of it and smile that it all was and is now all part of who you are. Turn back to the path that you now journey and step forward with resolve. You are ready.
