If every day was sunny, we'd surely complain?
It's the crappy days that make us appreciate those days that just bloomin' perfect...and almost MAGICAL. Moments of bliss teased out throughout a day of laughter, warmth, comfort...LOVE. On the contrary, the not-so-great days are grim, empty, void and can make us question our entire existence in their extreme.
Post a very short primary practice this morning, life is beautiful. The sun penetrates the carriage of the train and glistens on the metallic surfaces of tall towers that poke from the urban landscape. But the day before, on placement at a school in ever-so-dismal Dagenham, I wondered WHY was I here doing this? Why was I wishing time away? Wasting time. Ughhhh, wasting ENERGY. Both of which, are so so precious. I told my boyfriend at the end of the day that maybe everyone has days like this and it's 'normal'. Without the darkness we wouldn't know the light.
Change is in the midst. I just know.
(Brief) moments of discontentment can be just as enlightening as moments of joy.
