All of it is precious.

All of it is precious. The heartache is precious, too. The way that things appear to your eyes to be wrong — that, too, is precious. The hurt. The difficulty. The unfairness. The terrible losses. That longing — that deepest, hardest, heart-piercing human longing — for everything to be different than it is. All of this is precious. The pierced heart, for sure, is precious .The things as they are, and things as you want them to be, and the things as they never can be — all precious. The madness, precious. What is precious, in conclusion? EVERYTHING. - Elizabeth Gilbert

I started making a list of what was "precious" to me after reading an article by Elizabeth Gilbert. The list included;

a belly laugh

my breath - deep breaths upon waking up

a sunrise

a sunset

a full moon

the moment you feel love and loved and then it hit me

if I did not experience the opposite of all of this then the preciousness of it all would feel different.

Everything is precious, all of it. Even the shitty times because the duality allows me to have such an appreciation for the flip side.

Precious brings you to a level of peace that passes all understanding .

Peace and Blessings
