- Conquer Adversity
I have come to a conclusion.
I want JOY even in the face of adversity.
Adversity has it’s own demonic seduction, pulling the participant down, down, down, further, which can be a dramatic experience.
To hold out for joy though, even while undergoing adversity, is to give adversity a kick in its backside, to say screw you, you don’t get to own all of me.
It is a commitment, a willingness, not to let the beautiful childlike parts of ourselves disappear.
It’s a snow angel on a stormy day.
It’s popping soap bubbles floating and casting rainbows, not to destroy them, but to be a part of a larger imagining.
There is no reason to ever disown the primordial elements of me.
How about you?
