Be a rainbow.

“Un-winged and naked, sorrow surrenders its crown to a throne called grace.”

And then….

“Dare to love yourself
as if you were a rainbow
with gold at both ends.”

Aberjhani

Compelling thoughts from a man I just came to learn, worthy of a share and few words.

Sorrow rules the day for many. Regrets, rejections, repudiations and resentments. Each become a jewel that is added to that despicable crown meant only to disparage in a dominion governed by it. Sorrow.

But as you come to remove its dominion over you and your life, the ornaments of that authority corrode, fall away and as Aberjhani suggests, “surrenders its crown to a throne called grace.”

Once under that loving and eternal authority, you can truly dare to love oneself. To discover your true worth as one meant to be respected, affirmed, included and most of all, just plain loved.

Be like that rainbow you just happen to see when you look up in the sky. Think of the amazement and joy it brings you upon taking it all in. Honestly imagine yourself as being that very rainbow for those stuck in an overcast, cloudy, dismal existence. You will be that one offering gold on both ends.

One for those that happen to need it most that moment.

The other for you for finally seeing it in yourself too.
