Purpose

I know that the night must end

And that the sun will   r i s e

I know that the clouds must clear

and that the sun will shine

When I tell people of my birth; they without hesitation tell me that I am a miracle. 

It is incredible what happened. 

A 1 pound 6 ounce baby lived. Without any abnormalities. 

Sometimes I wrestle with the future; drowning in anxiety. 

Where is my husband?

Will I ever have any children? A family?

Am I in the right field of work?

Why don't I feel like I am meant to work with children for the rest of my life? 

Today a few thoughts entered my mind. 

Maybe my first child will be a miscarriage. 

Maybe my husband will have to go fight in a war. 

It is all in the timing and right now is not that time...

Perhaps my purpose is not something specific like teaching or dancing...

Perhaps it is simply existing. 

Perhaps my birth story is my purpose. 

Maybe it is a kindness to all. 

Maybe it is my empathy, compassion, and endless love. 

It is my laughter and living life to the fullest. 

Maybe I am very sun for those in the dark.

And that kind of purpose is stunningly beautiful.
