wintery ground

Listen, hear this please.

I don’t care how much it seems like hard, dead, wintery ground, how difficult things feel, how much despair or frustration… there is still good in the world, there is still beauty, there are still adorable, cute little kids playing a game of basketball in the cul-de-sac on your drive home. There is still joy to be found and still magic in your life. There are flowers growing through the crispy, dried up, dead leaves.

I don’t care if you have no idea what it looks like or where it’s coming from next or when it will find you; there is something AMAZING coming for you in your story. There is good in your life. Great things are going to happen, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t have the slightest clue what or how or when. Just keep taking one step. It doesn’t matter if you can’t see them yet, it doesn’t matter if you can’t picture them. You don’t have to know the whole map. Just take another step. Just keep taking another step. You’ll get there. Okay?

There are flowers growing through these leaves. There are beautiful songs and exquisite strums on guitar strings. You can do this. Go buy yourself some flowers. Hug somebody you love. Eat, ‘cuz you’re probably hungry. Find whatever help you need for whatever you’re trying to solve or wherever you’re stuck.

And keep going.
