Sunday Glow: The Thread That Binds
Every end is just a door we close, a chapter in the story that nobody knows.
You think life is linear, that there’s a clear start, middle, and end. We like to believe the spaces in between are just gaps to fill. But what if I told you those gaps—the pauses, the losses, the transitions—are the story? What if transformation isn’t the dramatic change you expect, but the quiet, steady growth you barely notice?
These last three weeks have turned my world upside down. It was a time that shattered my sense of stability and left me exposed to the rawest form of grief and change. But as the dust begins to settle, I’m seeing something clearly: this is how life works. One thing ends, another begins, and the thread that binds it all together is love. Bold, unflinching, ever-evolving love. And the pain? It’s not something to fight against—it’s a reminder that you lived deeply, fully, and with intention.
So why do we fear these moments of transition? Because they force us to confront something we can’t control. We cling to the old, terrified of what comes next. But here’s the truth: you either embrace the changes, or they’ll break you. You either find beauty in the pain, or you drown in it.
I wrote the song below yesterday. And - surprise -it is about that realization. It’s not about loss—it’s about growth. About the spaces in between where the real story happens. I wrote this song as a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there’s light. Even in the deepest cuts, there’s room for love. And through it all, we carry on, stronger and more complete for having lived through it.
Here are the lyrics and the song. Listen and let the words speak for themselves.
The Thread That Binds
Every end is just a door we close,
A chapter in the story that nobody knows.
The wind keeps changing, it never stands still,
And we’re all moving forward, even when it’s uphill.
In the quiet moments, when we ask why,
The answers are written in the stars and the sky.It's the thread that binds, the space in between,
The moments of loss and the places we’ve been.
It’s the love we give and the pain we let go,
The seed we plant that we may never know.
Transformation in the blink of an eye,
But we keep on moving, never asking why.
We learn to live, and we learn to die,
And in between, we touch the sky.Small wins, they build like waves on the shore,
Each one a step, a chance for something more.
We rise and we fall, like the sun every day,
But the love we leave behind never fades away.
So we walk on, through the dark and the light,
Knowing the journey is where we find what’s right.It's the thread that binds, the space in between,
The moments of loss and the places we’ve been.
It’s the love we give and the pain we let go,
The seed we plant that we may never know.
Transformation in the blink of an eye,
But we keep on moving, never asking why.
We learn to live, and we learn to die,
And in between, we touch the sky.Embrace the change, the rise and the fall,
The silence, the joy, we live through it all.
Every step we take is part of the plan,
We’re more than we are, and less than we can.
In every ending, a new beginning calls,
And in love, we rise above it all.So we carry on, through the changes and time,
Following the thread, the rhythm, the rhyme.
We live, we love, and we let it all be,
In the end, we’re all part of this endless sea.
Feel the weight of those words. Let them remind you that everything is connected, even the parts that feel disjointed.
There’s no end, just another chapter. We’re all part of something bigger, and that’s the truth I’m holding onto now.
This is the Sunday Glow.
