I am learning to play a new musical instrument – myself. I am a person with the capability to experience a wide range of emotions from love to joy to wonder. I am profoundly grateful for laughter and light spirits – and also for anger and fear, because all of these feelings are part of what makes me whole. I believe that my Higher Power wants me to be fully alive and fully aware of all of my feelings. The crashing crescendo of great anger, the soft chant of serenity, the heights of wonder, and the new insights that stretch my heart and mind just as my fingers stretch to reach all the keys in a challenging chord. I am learning to play richer sounds than I ever thought possible.
I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable….. but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a good thing.
Agatha Christie
(Excerpt from Courage to Change p. 238)
I would like to acknowledge the blog below for providing by sychronicity just the quote I needed to head up this post. Check it out.
