The Grace of Conflict

Poetry

Through every relationship we are only ever trying to meet The One.

Which means, meeting ourselves.

Fully.

Every conflict between friends or lovers is an invitation:

To connect with ourselves more deeply. To feel our feelings more completely. To get clearer about our path. To find our voice. To speak our truth.

To know who we are.

To discover: What we want and do not want. What is okay and what is not okay.

(And it’s okay to be ‘not okay’, okay?)

Through the storm of conflict, we are invited to clarity and to the truth of our humanness.

Remember:

We are only ever being shown the frightened parts of ourselves still crying out for love!

- Jeff Foster
