Reflection: Survival by Cherie
There are times I feel my survival is at stake. Not life, but spirit. Surviving requires you hold firm to what you know is right. Surviving is never letter another kill your spirit for your life’s work. Surviving requires you to never forget when life was seriously against you. Surviving means you must always fill the dismissals, snicks, and other things with joy. Surviving is remembering that are deep lessons in frustrations and inequities. Surviving is remembering that the gifts you bestow on another matter. Surviving is always remembering there will be those who will use your words against you, but in the next 5 years that moment will have little impact on your legacy on Earth.
Tears are FLOWING! Found this one tonight while surfing. So reminds me of my mother's journey on this earth and how still remember the impact she made for me and others since her death in 2007. Powerful stuff, one to watch, one with a message. Message: although they are gone, although we may have forgot their scent, although we may have forgotten their voice, we never forget their spirit. My mother's could be described as one that was fierce and complicated, yet soft and compassionate.
