What do you do when things don't go according to plan?

[girl-that-writes]

I know that being positive in the face of adversity is quite an important thing but I also think that taking a moment to just breathe and entertain the thought of "but what if this happens instead of that" is important too. Not in the sense of, "if this does happen, everything will be over" but actually in the sense of, "if this does happen, it will not be the end because these are the ways with which I can continue".

I just think that knowing life can still be alright if it doesn't go the way you most wish it should, makes facing the adversity a little easier. Makes it less scary. And if something is a little bit less scary, that makes it that much easier to achieve.

ambivalence

how do you tell those few people who matter, who actually care, that you do not want to die but that you aren't very keen about living either

how do you iterate this going through the motions: clock-in, clock-out, eat, sleep, lather, rinse, repeat as nothing more than madness, sorrow, rage, silence, this endless, lonely fortitude

how do you sit on a fence without falling to either side, beauty here, decay there, both of them alluring, like the Sirens of Odysseus

how do you tell your best friend that you love her more than anything in this world, for calling you Sweet Sister

how do you straddle a conundrum, do you grip it with your upper thighs, as if it were a bucking horse, untamed, not yet broken, wild

how do you survive

You carry character with you wherever you go, and it allows you to prevail against adversity.

Jan 3 is the Feast of St Geneviève. This full-page miniature depicting Saint Geneviève on a leaf pulled from a book of hours. A contemporary of Clovis and Attila, and later the patron saint of Paris, Geneviève († 512 CE) is painted holding a large lit candle, one of her attributes. A demon, with a breath, extinguishes the flame that is immediately rekindled. According to her legend, Geneviève, with her companions, visit at night the construction site of the Basilica of Saint-Denis that she has built when the wind extinguishes the candle that lights the path of the small group. Geneviève then takes in her hand the candle that miraculously lights up and its flame will withstand all the storms. This isolated fragment comes from a manuscript made around 1510 in Tours by Maître Claude de France. Bibliothèque de l'��cole nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris, Mn. Mas 95

“Adverse conditions are your spiritual teacher; Demons and possessor spirits, the Buddha’s emanations; Sickness is a broom for negative karma and defilements; Sufferings are displays of ultimate reality’s expanse—”

"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive."

James Baldwin, writer (2nd August 1924-1987)

[quotes-by-dilanka]

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground.

They want rain without thunder and lightning.

They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.

This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.

Men may not get all they pay for in this world, but they must certainly pay for all they get.

― Frederick Douglass, Frederick Douglass: Selected Speeches and Writings

forgive yourself

~

for being tired in a weary world

for speaking your mind, unfettered

forgive yourself for crying, so often and so easily

for laughing a bit too loudly

for telling it like it is

forgive yourself for needing, anyone or anything, a smidge of kindness here, a touch of comfort there

forgive yourself for wondering what meaning there might be

in all this pain and suffering

you're human, after all

~
