as small as a world and as large as alone

It is so hard to ask someone to believe in your strength when your body is essentially dying.  How powerful is love?  Well I would say it’s the most powerful thing we have, right? We can do this! (because we HAVE to, I need to, you need to)

Your strength is more than physical.

And even a dying body has strengths other than keeping alive. Even the strongest people die, we all do.

And some of the biggest strength we can find is to tap into the strength of the world around us when our own falters.
If you don’t feel strong, take comfort in the strength of things and people other than you. That can give you strength you never imagined. Loved ones have strength. The ground has strength. The world has strength. And to give up and relax into that strength when you need to, can make you stronger than you ever guessed you could be.

Stay strong!
