Inspired by lyrics to “This, Too, Shall Pass” by Karen Drucker and Jack Fowler:
“I can feel you, I can see you, and I know all the pain you’ve been going through. This place you’re standing feels unending, like a mountain that never will move. Like the clouds that gently float across the sky, this too shall pass . . . .
Life will go in seasons. Who knows what lies beyond what we can see? We may never know the reasons. Embrace the mystery.
All the good times, all the hard times, are just a drop in a lifetime of dreams, ever fleeting, always moving, guiding us back to Love, to that place where we can know, without a doubt, this too shall pass…. This, too, shall pass….”
