The cycles within cycles of unexpected events show us layers of ourselves we are yet to meet.
From the depths of absolute sorrow to or****ic bliss,
To those little moments we don’t always see or appreciate, like the smile from a stranger,
The moments where we get lost in time doing what we love,
Or moments that jolt us out of our seats with a rush of unexpected aliveness,
Those times when we feel lost and we find ourselves questioning everything,
These moments of heartbreak remind us of connection,
When grief cuts us to our core and makes us feel numb,
The sound of loved ones laughing and doing what they love,
That moment where something you’ve dreamed about for so long happens and you’re looking at it unfold before your eyes in awe-inspiring wonderment,
The fire and passion you feel when you want to fight for the cause of injustice,
The feeling of rage and the unleashing of it that flies out of us and the moment of stillness that comes when you’ve unleashed,
That moment when someone sees you and you are able to fully receive it,
When you catch yourself laughing so hard you have to cross your legs because you might p*e your pants,
The moment when you lose someone and time stands still,
When you meet a stranger and you feel like you’ve known them forever,
These things don’t just happen.
Excerpt from Hedonistic Holy and Human, by Renée Mayne
