"You can build your life on what tomorrow brings
And you complicate the simplest things
You can hold your eyes fixed on the prize
And never see what’s in the periphery"

I am eternally grateful for my ability to fully see the periphery. There are beautiful things there. Some days are easier than others, but when the vision is open - wow. I am certain that we all have the capability but we do not all tap in to it. The flip side, or shadow, is knowing pain intimately. In the end, I find myself glad that I am able to experience the full spectrum of what life offers.
