In the Cement Mixer of Life

Like a toast.

04/08/14

In the cement mixer of life,

May the rocky times aid in

Strengthening your foundation,

And sticky situations and circumstances

Bond you to that strength.

May you come to see the surface for

What it is, as-well-as the truths of what

Lies beneath,

While accepting some just are

And are not to be understood.

May you come to focus more on

The positive beside you

Than the negative behind you.

May you come to know inequivically and without ego

The beauty you are,

The true beauty, without denial or doubt,

By sight but by more than just sight,

From your feet to your connection with Spirit.

May this to you be a blessing if not a light.

A lovely and inspiring piece my friend...you've worked this metaphor to perfection...I've been mired in a good bit of rocky times as of late, but I find inspiration in your words...May you come to focus more on / The positive beside you / Than the negative behind you...I'm still working on that part but if anyone can convince me to move forward with the positives it is you...you're a great friend Melinda, and you've penned a great work :)

Thank you. I am so glad this has moved you so. I am hoping it will reach and touch others as well.

A highly descriptive and quite brilliant comparison piece that relates well, good read, well done.
