My world, my tomorrow

As the festive season starts, many trips are planned, many functions attended, many gifts exchanged, have we taken a moment to tell the people in our lives how important they are to us?  Do we look in the eyes of our loved ones, no matter whether it is intimate acquaintances or just those on the periphery of our lives, and tell them how much they matter?

I know that the journey that I am is completely my journey but I do have passengers that I carry along, whether it is for a moment, a passage of time or for my lifetime.  I share the voyage on the ocean of life with each and everyone of you.  You are my school classmates, my work mates, my barista at my favorite coffee shop...you are my friends, my social circle, my posse no matter where I go, you are my family, my loved ones, my cousins, my brother, my sister, my mother and father.  You all come with me on this journey.  Sometimes we are singing holding hands and other times you are on your side of the road and I am here, the space is hard to reach over...

Is there ever anything that is so hard that love cannot overcome?  Anything that we would choose our pride or our beliefs over the love of each other?  I hope not, because to allow that to happen between each one of us means that we are opened to having that happen to ourselves.  I believe that the bible says it best when it says Love endures all things, love understands all things...I want always to choose on the side of love...what side will you choose?
