Zoe's Philosophy of Living Simply and Living Well

At all times, without question, take unreserved delight on the swings. It, like all of life, is an ebb and a flow, a continuous coming and going, a gentle slope down, a triumphant course upward, a tumbling stomach, an exuberant heart. The swings - a series of occasions for hope and utter laughter. Hilarity, elation, rapture at the feeling of being truly alive, cherished, and immeasurably cared for at both the depths and the heights of the journey, all-the-while knowing that terra firma is but a few feet below, and strong & gentle arms are outstretched beyond me but well within reach. Salvation is, after all, another word for healing, for being made whole, for being caught when all the evidence had suggested that the fall couldn't be stopped. On the contrary, it is the love, my darling, the love that can never be stopped, and it is the love that will pick you up should the fall one day come. Take heart. Swing again. The joy is in the journey, and home is not very far away at all.
