Some Days Get Me

A poem, a personal reflection on the shifting nature of our inner world.
Embrace the joy and discomfort life gifts you.
A gentle reminder that all experiences come and go, and that within each moment, there is something to be felt, understood, and honoured—just as it is.

Some days still get me. They show me magic. They bring me such joy, Aliveness and love. I am grateful for these days. Some days I feel glum. I take things slowly and can focus none but on my breath. I am grateful for these days too. The polarity of the human experience creates in me a feeling of subtle gratitude. For each moment they all come and go. Sinking into and soaking up the feeling of love and joy fills my heart. I feel more aligned in my choices. Sinking into the feeling of grief and anger also teach me so. They show me where I am still yet to grow. How deeply I feel. And my need and passion to express just how I feel. For I know each human experiences them. How they show up. How we meet them. Is unique for us all. For some they may be challenged. For some perhaps they were never shown how. It doesn't matter if no one showed you. I think that was also a gift for me. I got to learn it from the only true place. I can ever deeply learn anything. And that is from within. Now of course I will share what I have learnt with my children. And ponder what magic they will uncover in their lives. I will instill in them a love for all of life. All its joy, Anger, Misery, Pain and love. Some days still get me.
