What if we sat there? What if we sat there watching it and say "goodbye"? What if our eyes welled up as we see it go? What if the one thing that was very dear to us and shaped us into what we are today is going away and we waving it? What if we are expressing our gratitude to that one thing which is moving away from us.
Imagine another scenario, the very thing that helped us, we have just turned back and moved away? We just pushed it away from us? We made it look ugly and called it names before shoving it away?
What would be a good scenario to imagine? The first one right.
Yet when things are ending in our life, we do not honour the ending but rush the grieving. We do not honour the ending but try to manage, survive and move past them as quickly as possible.
If a relationship ends, we say, you will find someone better.
If a job is lost, we say, something better will open up.
If a phase of life completes, we immediately point to the next one.
As if it is a problem to be solved and not an experience to be honoured. Some things are ending because they are complete.
A best friend turns into being not-a-friend anymore because of some misunderstanding. We take it personally. Maybe that friendship is complete. Maybe that chapter in your life is complete. Nature did not know any other way to separate you both out. Just honour the friendship and consciously wave a good-bye.
These are not failures. These are completions. And completions deserve ceremony, not embarrassment. They deserve a moment of genuine acknowledgement β this mattered, this served, this is now ready to be released β before we move toward what is next.
Name one thing in your life that is quietly ending. Do not rush past it. Sit with it for a moment. Thank it. It carried you further than you perhaps realize.
What is something in my life that is genuinely completing itself right now β and have I given it even one moment of honest, grateful acknowledgement?
