Gratitude Day 8 -♥- Juicy Heart at the Awaken Studio Toronto
Posted: August 18, 2014 in -♥-, Awaken Studio, GratitudeTags: awakening heart, Gratitude, Joyful living
Today…
My gratitude extends to the darkness.
- Without the darkness I would no be able to see the light.
- Without my looking at that which I do not want I would not be able to create that which I so desire.
- Without my experiencing the pain I would not be able to experience the bliss.
- Without imprisonment I would never be able to experience the ecstatic quality of freedom.
“I have to keep facing the darkness. If I stand tall and face the thing I fear, I have a chance to conquer it. If I just keep dodging and hiding it will conquer me.” ― Mary Pope Osborne
