Truth is Beyond the Visible

The coyote is often considered a trickster spirit, which sometimes carries negative connotations. But I believe it can go both ways - more like things are not what they seem. Don’t take anything at face value. Which can easily mean when things seem bad, maybe they aren’t. Maybe they are a means to a better end. ⁣

When dealing with my own bouts of darkness, I aim to see them as beautiful challenges to achieve and rise to my next level. If I chose to see them just as bad, challenging times, then I would be instantly defeated. But if I trust that the truth is beyond what we can see, and I can understand the larger picture, I meet this challenge with gusto. ⁣
