When you are in a rebirth, you don’t know you are being reborn.
All you know is that something inside of you is dying. That is the only thing that feels real.
When you are in rebirth, you aren’t reborn just once.
It comes in waves and layers.
You let go and then you let go a little more.
(You feel a little and then you feel a little more.)
Without even realizing what is happening, the new pieces of your life begin to emerge.
Eventually, you find yourself standing firmly within all you feared would never come.
One day, you wake up on the other side.
It is at this moment that you must remember the truth you forgot at the beginning:
We didn’t come here to suffer.
We came here to grow.
When we resist the elements of growth - when we are too attached to what must pass - we end up stuck and longing.
When we ask to greet a new horizon, we have to learn to embrace the journey that will get us there.
