"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better. What if they are a little coarse, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice? Up again you shall never more be so afraid of a tumble".
Ralph Waldo Emerson
From my daily Journal of Why I so Totally Got This Today:
Tumbling-tumbling like stars in the heavens
I see their twinkling lights yet I never hear the sounds that they make when they fall from the sky, yet I still see them.
Colliding, falling, tripping, stumbling down from the heavens-
I see their beauty and their pain for they are falling stars.
Maybe I am just tumbling rocks-clashing and crashing into each other, and with time and struggle I come out of it shiny and bright, smoothed by time and life.
Tumbling. Tumbling and stumbling but never without a purpose.
What can pain teach me?
This twinge in my heart is directing me beyond the surface and inviting me to tumble into the sea.
To embrace the suffering because it's the tumbling that removes all of the dirt, the rough surfaces and creates something new inside of me.
Maybe these rocks were once stars that tumbled out of the heavens to remind me when I trip and stumble that something so beautiful and heavenly was sent to earth to remind me to look back up into the heavens and discover so many more possibilities of the my purpose -like these stars shining down on me.
