Turning Points

Beautiful Turnings: November 2011, Washington DC, Youngest Son

Love is usually complicated. Knowing our true being can be very complicated. Life is complicated.

It is hard to do all of it without pain. That is alright. The texture of all of my days, my months and my years are never ever dull.

For me, being vulnerable is a state I avoid vigorously. So I look inside myself and try to define my being - the part that surfaces when I am not just surviving.

Then there is a moment when things start to look different. Slightly less complicated.

And I am thankful for turning points. Turning points happen continuously through our lives. Embracing them is part of my essence.
