Whether one is contending with grief, disappointment, loss, or even on occasion, trusting happiness, there is always a journey of discovery before any denouement is realized. (A prosetry exploration - Image by Beth Savage)

 

Arrival

 

How judicious it’s approach, hiding not within the dark, but like a shadow beginning, pursues discernment to find solace alongside its partner, patience.

 

Its personage grows with each morning’s sunrise, knowing it may need to rest midday amongst the peaceful to ready the day’s attempt.

 

Patience prompts …

 

Just as undulating mirages seek its comfort, and shoreline’s erosion bows humbly to high tide, all of ocean’s pebbles eventually find purchase, allowing duration its rights, trusting completion knows when it’s time.

 

Always mindful…

 

It remains aware of life’s journey is without borders, respecting that purpose rules, process abides, results distill.

 

Arrival’s shadow happily fades into the bright resonance of Humankind’s often difficult epiphany…

Acceptance.

Well written. My primary thought was that we now have so many, here in the United States, that have no patience and are not willing to accept the way things are and why we are urgently needed to move ahead on major problems.

We have arrived, somewhat with legislation passed. But each of us has a lot more to do for we are literally, out of the woods burning behind us.

Indeed, acceptance is a concept that is not often talked about or explored, even though it is extremely important in understanding the vagaries of our lives. Thank you for raising this critical issue.
