The Wave Of Life

The Wave That is Life:

Isn't Life literally a wave; ups and downs, positives and negatives, joys and challenges one encounters.

Isnt that what makes it Life...the notion it being unpredictable, impermanent and a state of constant change; as waves are constantly in motion and never stay the same.

For those who view life events as interconnected, that's what even makes it fun.

What then happens when the Wave that is Life doesn't flow seamlessly? Does it make it an anomaly when the Wave is stuck at a point of Collapse longer than it moves to Resilience or Reintergration?

When the dark clouds, and uncertainty last longer than the outbursts of joy and passion and hope.

When you want to flee or, less often, fight, but because you can’t flee or fight, you freeze, You submit. You numb out and your mind dissociates.

Scientists have explained that Ocean and lake waves generally flow in the direction of the wind that generated them, and are typically perpendicular to the wave crests.

As waves approach the shore, they can be refracted (bent) due to changes in water depth and currents, causing them to realign.

That waves can break in various forms, like plunging or spilling breakers, depending on the beach slope and wave characteristics.

Contextualizing it...is it that we have adopted the narrative that for life to be "normal" it must flow seamlessly and the wind blowing it must be one kind....when really, the wind is a natural phenomenon caused by differences in air pressure and temperature. No one controls the wind.

The concept of broken waves is a natural phenomenon just as the concept of seamless waves.

Life is indeed a Wave....whatever wave you find yourself surfing, is what it is. Sometimes there will be outbursts of joy, periods of being in control, feeling loved and indispensable, being competent, walking on air....

Then there will be periods of unexplainable sadness, indescribable inadequacy, underachieving....deficiency,frustration and disillusion.

All are part of the wave, that is you.....

Balancing those waves on a large stage called Earth where there are presuppositions of who You should be....Now that is LIFE.

Laughing through the unseen tears, Loving when nursing a broken heart no one knows about, playing with your children when all u want to do is curl up like a child and cry, taking orders or blame even while being emotionally detached....wishing you could be yourself to your lover and tell your fears&darkness but knowing that telling them would translate into them carrying that weight of sadness too...

Perhaps they might not even fully grasp how low you are...

That Right there is the Line between Life and Death, between living while alive, and dying while living....the Choice ultimately comes back to you.

Even the Bible says “I have set before you life and death, blessing and curses..."

Even though Life is Indeed a Wave, the Choice is still Yours

As waves approach, they can be bent...causing them to realign.

May You Find Grace to Bend the Wave that is Life to Realign with What you Need...

May You Find Glimmers of Joy amidst the sadness

May the Light of God illuminate the darkness around you and in you and light your path

May you Daily Find the Strength to keep Hope Lit

May You Find the Courage to Open your Heart to Love even when its one piece of the shattered pieces because it is worth it

Life is Worth It
