Evolution

We've all had moments. Moments that rip us open.
Moments which take us down.
Leave us feeling broken. 
Empty.
Hopeless. 
We've all been there.

It's what we do with those moments of hopelessness, that truly counts.

You, Beloved. 
You are powerful. 
The choices you make MATTER, on both a micro and a macro scale.
Your presence in this world is integral and completely INDISPENSABLE. 
Your wholly unique perspective on the challenges which arise in your individual experiences, is a POWERFUL form of medicine, and one which offers potent healing for truly COUNTLESS beings you may meet.
You carry a brilliant and INEXTINGUISHABLE light that shines out from within, one which lights the way for others.

We all have moments. 
We can choose to allow those moments to define us
Or we can choose to evolve, and in doing so, allow others to do the same.

Hang on, my love.
Even in dark moments, you are radiant. 
Remember your inextricable interconnection with all that which is.
Stand up, and stand tall.
You were not built for crouching.
