Bittersweet

There's this feeling that comes slightly painfully, wonderfully easily, softly, and hardly even there, when we draw close to the end of something. The realization that all of our experiences and wonderment are coming to a head - to the end - hits us like a bowling ball flying through the air. It's sudden, and you sure don't expect it.

Then, like water rushing over you, the realization that in this moment all things are new and there's another beginning coming your way, clothes you. It's like a whisper in your ear, sweet and soft, and gives you courage for a new day. Yes, it's the end of something wonderful, but it's the beginning of the rest of your life. This calls for strength to embrace! - Embrace our destiny!

My heart makes connections easily and simply. It's hard for me to say goodbye, because my heart feels like it's being torn. When really, it's being expanded! Sometime's this has the same feeling and tendencies. I always think after I meet someone that there can't be enough room in my heart for anyone else. I fill it up so quickly and easily. But then I manage to fit more people in there, with the same love and affection as the last. It's bewildering to me! But it soothes me, when I think of the connections I've made this year. I may be saying goodbye, but that doesn't mean I let them go.
