This Too Shall pass.
I am so happy today.
This too shall pass
I am sad today.
This too shall pass.
There is a tree outside my window. The first time I saw it was in June when I first shifted or came to my new home. It was Green,vibrant and so alive. It danced in the wind. In my mind I could feel the joy it radiated. Every morning I would open the blinds and see it waiting for me. Just there. Existing.
It is now November. All its leaves have shed and it is covered in a thin coating of snow. A few leaves hang,brown ,sad. I dont feel sad looking at the tree but I dont feel happy either. I can just be. I can also just exist. This too shall pass. I know that the time will come when the leaves will be reborn and the tree will be vibrant and joyful once again. So this time that I have till that happens again. How do I pass it?
I have a choice here. I could be sad,,complaining,lonely unhappy.I could also be normal,calm,existing,going by.
I could also be happy,excited finding joy in other things .
I could be all three. Some days one and somedays another.
Does this mean I am miserable?No it means I am ok. I feel sad its ok,I feel happy its ok.
All I have on any given day is this one moment that I am in,the next moment,day is just a hope in my heart.
The reassurance that I can be what I want on any day and still be ok.
Because This too shall pass.
