When I understand that life is moving on.
When I see that living is doing what comes next.
I discover that hurting is a part of life, but not all of life.
When I allow the hurting to happen and then do what comes next, I discover that just as there is hurt, there is also joy.
Sometimes I am happy and sometimes I am sad, but at all times I am confronted by what comes next.
When happy, do what’s next. When sad, do what’s next.
