I often talk of a healing journey. And for me, a healing journey sounds like a wonderful, restful, fill you up kind of thing. That is not the experience I’ve had. It has felt gutting at times, felt like slogging through mud others, but mostly it has felt long and steep. How long is this going to take? (Are we there yet?)
And then I’ll have these moments where everything just clicks, or I stand to look out at the new view. I also see the strength I’ve gained, and how the going gets easier. The feeling of striving and conquring leads me to tackle new things.
But the Journey get rough again. And I don’t know how long I can last. And at the precise moment, when I think I can’t take it anymore, A rest stop appears in my life. The struggle is not completed. There is no vista. No sense of accomplishment. Sore muscles. Much more road ahead. But here, I can take a breather, and gather a little strength for the road ahead.
My Wish For You
I don’t wish you have it easy. I don’t wish you have it hard. I wish you are given challenges and the support you need to conquer them. I hope you pass through enough to strengthen your metaphorical muscles. I hope you have enough strength to help others. I don’t wish the path to be and easy slope. I wish for your path to be steep enough so that you can arrive at the vistas, and see things you could have never seen. I hope you can bless others with the deep knowledge you gain. I don’t wish for the road to be short, but that you may have rest stops in your journey.
Also water, I hope you have water. Water breaks are important.
