These days I was reading about reincarnation and I was surprised to read that before we are born, we ourselves choose everything we live. Every trial, every sadness, every obstacle, leads us to "climb" positions in heaven. There is nothing that happens to us that is not written. Surely if you had been told in the past that you would write and that you would be read by many people around the world, surely you would not have believed it. Let the days flow: everything on earth has its time and its rhythm, we just have to be open not to miss the wonders that are born in front of our eyes every day. Beautiful poem, my friend. A hug for you, @ericvancewalton
Thank you Nancy. I've heard that theory about reincarnation too. Interesting concept, isn't it? I do believe this Earth and this life is a schoolhouse and how fitting that we would choose how we receive our lessons beforehand. I never, in a million years, would have believed that my writing career would have blossomed the way it has. So many times throughout my journey I thought it would only be a hobby but I kept pushing and eventually the door opened. I will never stop being grateful that it happened. On this side of "success" I've now struggled with the REASONS I write. I can see that earlier in my career, to some degree, it was for attention/money but now I feel like I've grown beyond that. It's actually the creation part of the process that brings me the most joy. Thanks again for your comment, Nancy, and have a great weekend!
