So my name's Pete Brandel.
I'm a holistic healing practitioner.
I help people have happiness now,
Not after the Maserati,
Although they can still have the goal of getting that.
And I also write a lot of poetry and do a lot of art.
I do a lot of things,
But one piece of poetry I'd like to share today that's important is called Triumphantly.
And I'll share the poem with you,
And then maybe we'll have a few moments of reflection.
What does that mean to you?
Is that a poem just about nature?
Not that that wouldn't be enough?
Or somehow,
When we work through the pushing through of the soil,
The bearing of the elements,
The artificial elements of nature,
It's a poem that's just about nature?
Passage of time.
And we greet what's waiting for us on the other side of that effort.
And that happens to be a good thing.
And we greet it and we feel triumphant.
Isn't that a nice metaphor for this dynamic?
I ask you what you're waiting through right now.
What elements are you pushing through or allowing yourself to grow through or allowing to dissolve without your having to do anything?
And I ask what's on the other side of that?
This could be an inner dynamic.
This could be an external dynamic or somehow a harmony of both.
Yeah,
It's a powerful inquiry.
So I hope you're triumphant in that journey.
I hope you're able to weather the storms.
I hope you're able to have a sun on the other side of what you're doing that is worthy of your quest.
And I wish you the best tidings possible.
