Exchanging life for something more

A dear and wise friend of mine once told me, "everything in life is an exchange."
As days pass and time moves forward I am beginning to realize the truth of this statement.
Just imagine when a friend is down and in need of something they haven't been able to find on their own. Though their actions may not demonstrate this need for example: anger may be present, anxiety may be there, frustration may manifest itself, confusion may be taking over. But underneath that barrier, that surface something is brewing that is in need. It may be something dark that needs light or it may be something heavy that needs to be lifted. It may even be something dense that needs to be set free.The kind of free that equals freedom. The kind of free where the restraints of the moment are lifted and access to the true loving being is able to emerge once again.
Thank you all people who light up the world and bring love into the lives of those around you. You are the one's that are the access for the world around you to emerge into its own greatness.
