hold this moment with me

 

hold this moment with me—

you're cradling your morning coffee,
warm and familiar in your hands,
when life does what life does best:
shakes your perfect peace.

but here's the beautiful truth
about spilled moments:
it's not about the bumps and bruises
life hands us,
it's about what we carry inside.

think about it:
a cup can only spill
what it holds.
like hearts,
like souls,
like the deepest parts of who we are.

when life rattles your bones
(and trust me, it will),
when the ground shifts
beneath your careful steps,
what spills from your spirit?

do you pour out sunshine
or storms?
do your words drip honey
or vinegar?
does your heart spill
garden seeds or thorns?

you see, we're all just vessels
walking through this world,
carrying what we choose to hold—
grace or grudges,
peace or poison,
love or fear.

life will shake us all,
that's its nature.
but what flows from those moments—
that's our choice,
our legacy,
our truth.

so fill yourself with the kind
of light that makes darkness tremble,
the kind of love that makes hate pause,
the kind of grace that transforms
ordinary moments
into holy ground.

because in the end,
we all spill exactly
who we are.
