Hello Readers,
All great beginnings start in the dark, when the moon greets you to a new day at midnight. Every sunset is an opportunity to press the reset button . Forget everything you’ve done and start over again. Morning will come, it has no choice. There is always a new beginning. Doors are unlimited, always open, because when one closes, at that very moment another one opens. It represents a perpetual cycle of opportunity to extend our talents as far as they can reach, or as far as we are willing to go.
The greatest beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are all lying ready for you as perfect and as unspoiled as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. The most exciting thing about all this is that you can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose. Never grieve over something that isn’t destined for you. Just realise that if a door is closed, it’s because what was behind it wasn’t meant for you, and if you had it, you probably wouldn’t want it. The splendid thing about falling apart silently is that you can start over again as many times as you need to.
All broken-hearted romantics lovers should be given a second chance perhaps a reconciliation with an old love, or someone new, or perhaps even alone, unbothered and free to fly high in the sky. When someone you love dies, you are given the gift of second chances. Their eulogy is a reminder that the living can turn their lives around at any point. You’re not bound by the past, that is who you used to be. Everything is changing so quickly, time doesn’t stand still. You’re reminded that your feelings are not who you are, but how you felt at that moment in time before. Your bad choices defined you yesterday, but they are not who you are today. Your future doesn’t have to travel the same path with the same people. You can start over as many times as is necessary. You don’t have to apologise to people who sit in judgment, refusing to listen. You don’t have to justify your feelings or actions to anyone . You don’t have to put up with people that are insecure and want you to fail. All you have to do is walk forward with a positive outlook and trust that the Universe has a plan that is greater than the sorrow you left behind. The people of quality that were meant to be in your life won’t need you to explain the beauty of your heart. They already understand what being human is, a crazy roller coaster ride of mixed emotions during rainstorms and sunshine sprinkled with moments when you can almost reach the stars. You raze the old to raise the new.
‘today
i see the world with new eyes
i breathe
the crisp cool air
a little deeper
i feel
the mist on my face
like I’d never felt before
i taste
everything food friends life
more dearly
i see You
in the smallest
of things
the wonder of life
the splendour
the majesty
the beauty
thank you for
every sunrise every sunset
every smile every frown
every tear I’ve cried or wiped away
every triumph every failure
for all the tender moments
and the tragic times You’ve
carried me through
thank you
for always being there
a friend and more
by my side
through it all.’
‘Please don’t weep for me,
for I know you loved me dearly.
Farewell for now my special
friends. Keep your candle sticks
burning brightly until we
meet again.
‘Now I’ve gone for too long
Living like I’m not alive
So I’m going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I’.
Love and light,
Linda and the Lulas xxx
