The Sweet Joy of Eternal Return

“Sometimes the things we do second time around are better and hold more value because we take the time to reflect and review, and revive them through a higher love. Don't be afraid to try again and do-over with greater wisdom, a fresh set of eyes, and a renewed hope. Life is not a straight line of first time successes.

It's the road that is paved with failure and seemingly wrong turns that provides us with character, emotional grit and inner muscle to find new perspectives. The only expiry date to your dreams, intentions or goals is the one you allow to soak into your soul.”

―Christine Evangelou

And just when the darkness

became too much to bear

and the struggle too hard,

the light broke through

and the caterpillar emerged

a butterfly

delicate but unbroken,

wild and gentle,

finally free to spread its lovely wings

and fly away on the wind.

―L.R. Knost
