Facing Facts

There are some ineluctable realities that must be embraced at some point in our lives; the axiom ignorance is bliss often permisses oblivion as a way of coping that numbs true emotion. When we neglect these feelings, they tend to rear an ugly head by manifesting themselves in other aspects of life. Ultimately each individual’s existence is a bowl of chicken soup. As silly as this may sound, there are certain events that will stir the pot and cause the broth to bubble over.

The fattiness comes from the meat of being human. Not in a cannibalistic way, but people tend to have a juicy story that makes them who they are. No two pieces are ever the same, no matter how alike they are. The vegetables are the colors that float around the protein and give it a flair of color and pizzazz while supplementing the overall product. Spices, although not always visible,      play an important role in adding character to the flavor which provides a hidden depth to the soup itself.

While we may sometimes question why certain things happen, the concoction that is life often gives us a taste of something wonderful as a result of the ingredients that we put into the soup. It gives us a chance to savor the moment and feel the way we need to so that we can grow and heal as people.
