Sometimes....

Sometimes life is hard, sad and unpredictable.....
like when a little one dies.....my sisters baby
life can be full of unexpected events, and full of twisted turns, sharp corners, and full of un answered questions....
Sometimes life is full of rocks...

Sometimes life is full of tangles.....twisted thinking, confusing thoughts, jumbled words...

Sometimes life is full of sharp thorns and prickles...

Sometimes life is full of dirty puddles, rain and tears...

Sometimes its numb and dry like wilted flowers... an unopened bud...

Sometimes life is a cold, dark winter...

Sometimes we see life in only black and white....

Sometimes the light inside us is hardly light, but mostly darkness...

But after all the sadness, and all the darkness, and all the hardships, and all the despair, and all the tears...

sometimes there is a sliver of hope that would bud out...

And sometimes the hope will still triumph over sadness, the love will bloom, the spring will arrive after a long, cold winter.

Because through all the sadness the beauty of holiness will flourish.
