And perhaps,
it is still possible to tend to…
contentment in the present
and the call to reach toward what is still unfolding
at the same time,
by allowing yourself to rest in what is enough
even while remaining open to what could be.
It’s a wonderful thing to to find contentment in this life, and it’s also a wonderful thing when you realize that contentment doesn’t stop you from finding language for what you need. Whether you are yearning for love, connection, meaning, belonging, continue to remind yourself that it doesn’t make you ungrateful for desiring that. Instead, you are learning how to hold the tension of things. You are learning how to be like a flower, learning to be rooted in the soil while simultaneously stretching upward toward the sky, unfolding in your bloom. It’s a complex process, and it’s all a journey worth taking. A journey worth taking as you continue to make the most of where you are, and preparing for what’s to come. – Morgan Harper Nichols
