this moment

i've been thinking. about something.

too often i think we fall into the trap of thinking we're alone in our struggles. that something is ours and that no one else could possibly understand how it feels.

and then there are moments of clarity. when we realize that other people feel the same way. hurt. misunderstood. alone. sad. weak. afraid. disheartened.

today i am extremely thankful for the time i spent in arizona. for the people i met. for the experiences i had. for the way i have grown and stretched and overcome.

this photo is from mark mabry's reflections of Christ. the exhibit of these photos began at the mesa, arizona temple's visitor's center. i was fortunate enough to be able to see the exhibit while i was in arizona.

the photo makes me cry whenever i see it. i know that exact feeling. i wish i could have that every moment. every, every moment.

This is so true. I sometimes wonder how much easier life would be if we actually talked to people about what was really going on, how we really felt. Thanks for sharing.
