And It was said to me: "embrace the glorious mess you are". How easy it is to see darkness in the winter shedding and not see that even in its gloominess lies great beauty. That even in our great struggles - lies within a great victory. How then does the Spring green come about without the fertilisation of the Winter brown? Isn't it the very brown that gives way and life to the green we await to goggle in awe. There is power and sheer beauty in your mess. A true triumphing chaos that renders sweet melodic honey to your journey. So again it was whispered to me "embrace the glorious mess that you are. Malebo Sephodi
About This Quote

This quote is one I was both surprised and pleased to find. I had never read it before; the first time I saw it was when it appeared on my Facebook wall and I liked it immediately. It's simple and wonderful and speaks to me: embracing the mess we are. To live in the contrast of the bad and good, of the dark and light, of the ugly and beautiful, of confusion and order; embracing all these things.

To live with a sense of order but without letting our lives be rote. To see what we can learn from both sides, from darkness as well as light, from chaos as well as order. It's a reminder that beyond all our struggles, we are beautiful even if we can't always see that beauty.

And that seeing that beauty is just as important as embracing the beauty itself.
