It\u2019s funny&#8230;..or maybe not but as soon as I give up and give in to the thoughts of processing, my eyes get heavier and my thoughts pause.  I fumble the phone as I drift asleep for a moment, only to be painfully jolted awake in the next second.  There\u2019s something about processing that allows the stuck feelings to pass through and release.  So rather than fight, I surrender.  Surrender to rest.  Surrender to calm.  Surrender to this moment and then the next and then the next.  This life doesn\u2019t feel pretty or safe or even very good, at the moment and yet that\u2019s the glorious dichotomy of life.  Chaos and order.  Beauty and horror.  Grief and joy.  Love and fear.  Acknowledge the difficulty while being open to the beauty.  It\u2019s still there, you may just have to look for it.  And when you see it, it\u2019s like the whole world lights up for a moment and if you can string \u201cthose moments\u201d together&#8230;..it\u2019s incredible. #sharethejoy2020 #lettinggo #surrender #bedtime #langleybc #beautifuldichotomy <br \/><small>Posted by <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/instagrate-to-wordpress\/\">Intagrate Lite<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s after midnight; look at those tired eyes and yet&#8230;..I\u2019m not quite ready for sleep.
