There will be a day at some point in your life where your heart, your mind, and your spiritual being will align in such a way, that what is present between can not be denied.

In those moments, you will simply break into a million tiny shards.

You will be obliterated on every level.

Pain will creep around inside you every minute of every day.

Pain beyond any level imaginable.

Tears will simmer beneath the bottom line.

They will fall into puddles.

Doubling in flow at times.

It may be so gruesome, that you lose track of your mind.

You feel parts of your soul leave you.

You see black.

It is your heart, doing its best to not implode.

This period in your life offers nothing but pure and raw emotions.

In abundance.

You open to this emotional state coming in.

Unadulterated love, anger, and some for certain are grief.

The fact is, all of this will sometimes feel too much.

You will buckle, you will lose your grip.

But it will end, It cannot last.

Hold tight!

When the raging of those moments finally halts.

You can rest your heart and mind.

You will rise from your weeping.

The freedom will come to let it go.

Allow yourself to feel it all in peace.

Forgive the madness that occurred there.

Straighten your spine.

Own the moment and let go of the fight.

Release the dead limbs.

One small motion in a forward direction.

Will help you see.

All that happened, all the helpless insanity your subconscious created, has brought your mind, body, soul to the day of reckoning!

What will you make of this?

How will you grow from it?

This is the path.

Don't ask why.

Your reckoning just is.

A final day will arrive.

You will then understand why it had to happen.

Just the way it did.

Release and quit fighting.

You'll soon know this ultimate freedom.

It's not a weak soul who can manage this.

It will take endurance.

With tenacity you will manage a positive way through.

You will own every part of your day of reckoning.
