Are you coming? Out into the light?

"Are you coming? Out into the light? You who aren’t stone, but flesh? You who aren’t dead, but alive?"

Ah, I love these lines from the short story "Passages" by Elena Penga and I needed to read them again today. And I wondered if they speak to you, too? 

Just in case we needed to know that others are also haunted by impatience with this life (are you coming!?). 

Just in case we needed to know that others are standing a few steps ahead and holding the door open...are you coming?

Just in case we had forgotten our aliveness and had turned to stone (it's so easy to forget). 

Just in case we needed to remember that there are questions like these, that we have choices. 

Are you coming?
Out into the light?
You who aren’t stone, but flesh?
You who aren’t dead, but alive?

Gratefully, in this moment, my answer is yes. What about you? Are any of these questions speaking to you today? 

I'm so glad you're here, 
Brianna

P.S. If you want support around remembering your aliveness, around discovering choices, I’m here.
