What if there was a purpose to life?
What if I were infinite?
What if the dance never ended?
What if God was what I think it is?
What if time really isn’t linear?
What if I were to welcome pain and by doing so let go of suffering?
What if I was not afraid?
What if I could let go of all I value?
What if every choice was the perfect one?
What if I stopped running?
What if I could sit with all that wanted to be felt, fall apart, and not go crazy?
What if I allowed myself to be seen and it was ok?
What if I remembered that all of my challenges are simply “first world problems” no more – no less.
What if I were to quit resisting Life?
What if I had been put on the schedule this month?
Then instead of watching the sunset I would be flying into its skies, towards the invisible sunrise…would I still be writing these words?!
