Dream #2138

To the universe: I know that all joys and sorrows are temporary. I know that even the sweetest moments in life pass all too soon, and I feel it keenly now. I've learned the lesson without undue hardship. I've learned the value of each happy moment and now I am free and powerful, truly and fully enjoying each joy and sweetness and kindness because I know it is all temporary. I am no longer consumed by grief and pain because I know that they are temporary. I am no longer one to put off love or the opportunities to spend time with those I treasure because I know such times are rare and fleeting. I am responsible for my actions and my decisions and I smile because even the smallest, most fleeting joys are precious and even the most harrowing pains are lessons to be learned from. Thank you for all that you have taught me. To change to this is as powerful a change as having died to be reborn. I am a new man. I see the world in different shades and different shapes now, as if a whole new dimension of being has been opened before me.
