The Beautiful Letdown

Life is full of beautiful letdowns. These are the ugly things that we have to go through without knowing why. The beautiful letdowns might be practical...like causing an accident while running a red light. They might be mysterious...like having a pet disappear without a trace. They might be heartbreaking...like finding out you've been deceived by a loved one. They may even be expected...like predators killing my chickens. The beautiful letdowns are very painful to experience...and they always happen at the worst moment possible. It is possible to live life in an idealistic manner...but, you can't avoid the beautiful letdowns. It never seems like a good thing when your world is crumbling into ruins...but, when enough rain pours all over your parade, you will find your life is full of new flowers and brighter colors.
Pay heed to the beautiful letdowns...
they are the stepping stones of growth.
Wisdom is not a flower to be plucked,
but rather, it is a mountain to be climbed.
This is your life...
are you who you want to be?
