Sometimes when we see things in a new light,
we begin to see clearly,
or suddenly know what we need to do.
Changing or ending something
does not mean we have failed.
Sometimes it can be the most loving action
for all involved,
even though it might be judged by others
who do not understand.
Sometimes when we see things in a new light,
we come into our own.
We outgrow our ancestors
and shift the story-
from shadow to light.
Sometimes when we see things in a new light,
we feel like everything
falls apart and becomes ashes.
And then, suddenly,
we rise.
We become free.
We are healing.
We stretch our wings
like a Phoenix rising from the ashes.
New life is possible.
New beginnings are possible.
Out of the shadows and the brokenness
rises new life, new hope, new love…
