I just woke up to the most serene and beautiful sights-- city lights the size of marbles below, clouds at eye level & endless stars above to the abyss of hope and faith.
An almost out of body experience that makes me forget my flight being 3 hours delayed and that tomorrow will be a long work day. I look up to the stars questioning faith, love and life --
My lids slowly close and wake up to another unexpected gift. In the distance two clouds producing lightning. A view so beautiful and yet uncapturable by camera (I tried several times). The light dances and tags other clouds, so far in the distance that worry is non-existence.
// After long moments of self reflection //
The lightning comes near as the left wing lifts and we ascend. In this moment I realize-- life. In this moment I realize the beauty of the unexpected, unplanned and unknown. Almost more importantly comes the realization of lack of control & contentment. At one point or another we must give away control, to surrender to chance of the unknown. Our choices inevitably have led us to where we are, and where we are headed will be the result of the actions from our past and the decisions we make today. If we do all that we can-- in being honest to ourselves --we shall live with no regrets and our ability to accept and learn becomes empowerment more than contentment.
I, we, shall live faithfully to the abyss, of endless inquiry to become better -- where our comfort zone is our biggest hurdle; it is within those confined walls we must challenge ourselves the most.
Ultimately, however, no matter what we do to plan our destiny we will face unknown expectations and challenges that we may/may not have control over-- persistence and continuous strides in self improvement will be our allies. But we shall forever work as long and as hard as life's limitations allow-- and then walk to the cliff and fall backwards faithfully.
