Happiness is not sustainable. It comes and goes,
Likewise sadness too.
Peace, however, is a constant.
One can be peacefully happy
One can be peacefully sad
Honor both, as each come in due season.
This too shall pass.

However choice is ours whether we need happiness or sadness because it comes through our activities.
True – happiness or sadness is a mental decision. However, some things outside of our control happen that can cause sadness. Tragedy, loss, physical pain etc. Emotions come and go and are part of what make us human. It isn’t wrong to sit with them. But we can choose Peace while doing so.
Amen! Very wise words, and a beautiful poem, Beck. 😊🙏💖
Thank you, Suzette! ❤️
I am currently peacefully knackered! This too will pass!
😂! Never heard the term knackered before (had to consult Google) – you are expanding my vocabulary weekly. I love it! Thank goodness being knackered does pass – it just takes several decades to do so while raising kids! I think I have five or so years left… 😩 💤 hopefully super peaceful sleep will overtake you and leave you completely and utterly refreshed!
A very beautiful post. Your words are true and we can’t have complete control over outside forces. We do have complete control on how we react to them. Sometimes we all need a reminder that “This too shall pass.” Thank you.
It is a mantra I live by. Thank you, I appreciate you. 😊
Life is a flow of mixed emotions. We should only take them as such and make sure they affect us as little as possible when it comes to those that leave us with a knot in our hearts. Everything happens. You just have to let love last. I liked your poem. Enjoy it.
