This Too

This, too shall pass is often said when something goes not as expected. 

I've learned through a divorce, cancer diagnosis, addiction: things often called bad, don"t last.
I'm OK dating now, cancer was treated and addiction is being addresses

This, too shall pass...

I heard someone offer a retort, good things pass, too.

For those who have read this blog for some time know I believe all things change

Facing a challenge I have seen a pebble feel like a boulder. By facing a problem that pebble will remain a pebble. 

Moving forward I can put that pebble to use and add it to cover the path on this journey

This, too shall pass..

In the musical Godspell there is an appropriate song  By My Side    Please listen to the words

Beautiful Surfaces

A powerful line in a poem by Nietzsche "There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth"
got me to ponder.  What beauty and how far the depth?

I read the depth is my underlying self or my "id"  Who do I see when I look in the mirror? Do i reflect peace, joy, love or angst, misunderstanding and disrespect?

Regardless I hope we can see into each others real depth and see that beauty surface

*sometimes deciding what’s your business is complicated. But alw

ays assume it’s not your business.
