This past week, I drove back to my hometown of Digby for work. While I was there, I decided to make the drive out to Point Prim.
I originally went because I wanted to capture some video footage for a music project I’m working on.
But standing there, looking out over that enormous stretch of ocean and sky, it became something completely different.
It became a reminder of perspective.
The things that feel enormous when we're standing in the middle of them, the crisis, the uncertainty, the fear, the disappointment, the thing that didn't work out the way we thought it would, can suddenly feel very small when we remember how vast life actually is.
Sometimes we become so consumed with what is happening right now that we forget to breathe.
We forget to look up.
We forget to notice the ocean, the trees, the changing seasons, the people we love, the laughter, the quiet moments and all of the ordinary beauty happening around us.
And somewhere along the way, we've also convinced ourselves that we're supposed to be competing with one another.
Women especially.
Who is doing more?
Who looks better?
Who has accomplished more?
Who is further ahead?
Who has it all figured out?
What if we stopped?
What if instead of trying to outdo one another, we started reminding one another that we're all navigating something?
Different chapters. Different storms. Different timelines.
Standing on those rocks at Point Prim reminded me that life is much bigger than whatever difficult moment I happen to be standing in.
So breathe.
Look up.
Let the world be bigger than your worry for a few minutes.
And remember...
We're all in this together.
