The blessing of life:

Life moves like a solitary wolf
beneath a silent moon,
hunting not from cruelty
but from the need to endure.

She is wild, unpredictable,
a mystery even to those
who walk beside her,
trusting the path they cannot see.

At times,
she wraps the world in shadow,
and the heart learns
the weight of uncertainty,
the ache of despair.

Yet there are quiet moments
when life softens—
offering love and tenderness
when we feel least deserving,
when grace arrives
without explanation.

And when she turns cold,
when distance fills the air,
it is not to break us,
but to test the roots of our faith
and the strength of our spirit.

Life is a sacred gift from God,
placed gently in our hands
so we may learn to recognize His love
in every season.

Do not mourn your past.
Within its memories
sleep seeds of joy,
waiting to bloom
in the darkest hours
of the heart.
