All Is One
stress and frustration
discomfort and un-ease
is needed
to truly experience happiness
joy and pleasure
what is happiness?
for me it is the feeling of being higher, brighter
energetic, loved.
it is having fun.
How are we to experience happiness
if we never experienced
whats its like to be
lower, sad
or upset?
light
cannot be
without
dark
the dark is needed for us
to appreciate
lights immensity
to experience
lights radiance
next time you are upset, sad, frustrated
next time you feel hated
just remember
that these feelings are the first steps
and a part of the process
in feeling good, proud
exuberant
in feeling loved.
