Oh, but it's wonderful, they're both one in the same”

You know life’s name…her name is joy & pain…joy & pain…sing it with me…joy & pain. Life is a tapestry woven with memories & experiences of both joy and pain. The journey of life includes highs and lows which come with their fair share of suffering. Life was never meant to be easy-it’s the dance between light & dark, the marriage of gratitude & grief- such is the natural rhythm of the universe.
While life comes with its hardship, it should not be solely characterized by suffering. Suffering stems from unresolved pain and occurs when we resist the reality of life's joys and sorrows. Suffering arises when we try to escape the pain or when we focus solely on the pain and overlook the existence of joy. It manifests when we fail to recognize that both joy and pain serve as profound teachers, guiding us through matters of the heart. Learning how to honor both our joy and pain allows us to embrace life in its entirety.
