easy said – hard to see

"When everything is chaos in life something perfect is being born, the chaos will keep you distracted so you don't mess it up" - Anne Lamott

could it be the difficult days

tests or trials in many ways

incident gives birth to perseverance

inside scoop on deliverance

well call it growing pains

losses simply eclipse gains

unencounter growing up

wondering how to fill the cup

easy said – hard to see

what brings pure joy to me

I really love this picture, and the quote kind of touched me. I have thought a lot today about how the chaos in our lives can be for the good of it. How going through a crucible makes the gold worth having. I like the medium of (oil paints?) the painting style, it lets you knwo what's going on, but doesn't make it obvious... and leaves some up to your interpretation.

Thank you.

I recognized the quote immediately because I LOVE Anne Lamott. She doesn't now it yet but we are best friends. I got to your blog from Kristin's, and am glad I did just to see this; what an EXCELLENT reminder.

i LOVE that quote and that photo!
beautiful post - and i have to say, i saw that photo in my meditation the other day ... or parts of it. YOU are part of my synchronicity, i don't know why for sure yet, but it feels good, and that's what matters, right?
