When all the options are considered, and the seriousness of the situation sets in, it’s really best to take it all in stride.  One step at a time with a huge laugh.  A nervous smile or two is all that can be seen.  Remember to call on a close friend or relative when things run thin emotionally and in every other way.  It’s not over, and all is not lost – yet.

Hold onto what got it all started.  The singular seed of greatness is planted deep in the pit of black soil.  No light.  No break of day.  Really no one to say, “Oh, hey, it’s going to be okay.”  Those words never hit the eardrum but break within the heart.

No one else sees the pain because it’s lodged so far within.  The grief of the thing died a long time ago.  Just like the owner of a business going without pay.  “Another day, really?”  Or thinking,  “Where’s the wind for the sail?”

Experience does pay with time.  It’s all in time.  It’s not a minute more or a minute less.  It is the exact time that cannot be delayed.

Beautiful things come on the tides of the possible.  Refuse to believe anything less than sheer brilliance when that’s the gold within.  Hug determination one more time.  Squeeze until it hurts the hurt itself.  Then let go of it all and find freedom because nothing is ever totally lost.  Forgotten temporarily, maybe, but not a total loss.

Let the rain pour.  Bring out more buckets.  Catch the lightning too.  Then find a natural chorus to match the weather!
