can you drink the cup?





For today, I hold the reality of what currently is, and the potential of more to come.

For more of the
soul searching-
and gut wrenching
peace seeking-
and crazy making
spirit filling-
and out pouring
accepting-
and longing
laughing-
and crying
wanting-
and waiting
loving-
and hurting
kind of moments—and the potential of more to come.

Learning to do this, while spilling here and there and coming up empty time to time. Thankfully I have a shot at any and all of this, because I have others who I can lift my cup with. Thankfully….

Cheers to each and everyone of you as you look, wonder, see, question, and gather what is in your cup. None are alone.

    What beautiful words….just read that this morning. I am loving this little book from Henri Nouwen. It is speaking to me in so many different ways. Love, love, love your photos of the cups-
    they so give us a visual of the words-Blessings dear friend!
