Dancing in the Fire

“His list was full of things enjoyed in the past yet cut out of his life. While I wasn’t listed, it wasn’t difficult to read between the lines. The friendship, so strong and sacred to me, was put away as a ‘thing’ of the past with as much indifference as a trivial hobby–quickly forgotten, never missed. The promise of a forever friendship cast aside as the judge’s ink dried.”

Every human knows the experience of loss.

Do we collapse with grief and sadness or allow the fire of transformation to burn away the dross as we dance in the ashes of our former self?

When someone dies, whether it’s their physical self or the fragments of their personality, we must grieve. Our grief leads us to discover inner strength and courage. It develops within us the will to love again…beginning with love of our self.

Willing to feel the heat and fire of our hearts as they open wider and deeper, we develop courage which allows us to dance in the fire of self-transformation.
