Have you ever gone through a difficult situation such as losing a job?
If not, you are both fortunate and unfortunate. Fortunate because it can be traumatic and you may not have been ready for it. Unfortunate because you will feel some emotions that usually we do not like to feel. These emotions are like water that wash away dust from our soul and help us put in perspective what is important to us.
Waves
Wave after wave
Waves of panic
Waves of shock
Waves of disbelief
Waves of denial
Waves of shame
Waves of fear
Wave after wave
Waves churning deep within
Waves washing away a comfortable identity drawn in sand
Waves destroying all known structures
within and without
Wave after wave
bringing a storm of grief and tears
Waves that shift direction and content
Waves of hope emerge
Rainbows appear on the horizon
Maybe a new beginning is good!
Maybe a new identity is better!
Maybe …
