It carries you off on its currents until you’re completely lost and then drops you back on the shores of reality with salt on your cheeks and grains of dreams running through your fingers like sand. It’s almost an occasional necessity – I guess because when you get completely, fantastically, dizzyingly lost you’re temporarily suspended between what has been and what could be. In those first moments when you come back up for air, or when you float back down to the ground, you’re living in the land of possibility, where you understand that reality can stretch just as far as you’re willing to dream.","author":"Cristen Rodgers","tags":["breeze","cristen-rodgers","daydreaming","dream","dreaming","lost","possibility","reality","sea","soul","soul","spirituality","spirt"],"id":112936,"author_id":"Cristen+Rodgers"},{"text":"Summer rushes in on the heels of spring, eager to take her turn; and then she dances with wild abandon. But the time soon comes when she gratefully falls, exhausted and sated, into the auburn arms of autumn.","author":"Cristen Rodgers","tags":["autumn","autumn","changes","changing-seasons","dance","fall","seasons","spiritual-growth","spiritual"],"id":154411,"author_id":"Cristen+Rodgers"},{"text":"The universe is a deep, still body of water in which we all swim. Every move that we make creates a ripple that echoes across reality – and the deeper that we swim, the more force those waves carry and the farther they may span.","author":"Cristen Rodgers","tags":["cristen-rodgers","influence","law-of-attraction","spirituality","spirituality","universe","water"],"id":156341,"author_id":"Cristen+Rodgers"},{"text":"Oh, of course I stumble. There are times when I’m confidently skipping along and then I trip over my own poorly-placed steps and fall face first into the thickets. But I think there’s a sort of beauty in falling. Each time I fall, I’m reminded that I’m still human, that I’m still learning, that there will always be more lessons, growth, and discovery up ahead. So, although I have times when I’m weak, when I’m critical of myself, or I lose hope, I wouldn’t give them up for the world. I cherish them – because it’s the risk of falling that makes life a grand adventure rather than just a guided tour.","author":"Cristen Rodgers","tags":["adventure","awakening","beauty","development","growth","improvement","inspiration","inspirational","learning","mistakes","process","soul","spirit","spiritual","stumble","stumble-and-fall","traveling"],"id":181081,"author_id":"Cristen+Rodgers"},{"text":"I release ribbons of gratitude to flow back upon the path I have walked as it stretches out behind me, so they brush past everyone whose path crossed my own. May they feel the brief kiss of remembrance within their hearts, there and then gone again, passing like a spring breeze, so that they suddenly know the things they have done for others, in so many ways big and small, seen and unseen alike, somewhere are known and treasured.","author":"Cristen Rodgers","tags":["gratitude","memories","remembering-loved-ones","remembering-the-past","remembrance","spiritual","thankfulness"],"id":197992,"author_id":"Cristen+Rodgers"},{"text":"Listen closely.
