“Max danced at school today” I let the words wash over my spirit and soul. What power in the statement, power to shift faith and belief.

It’s not always a walk through peaks and inspiration. For every second that I find myself overwhelmed by an awe inspiring moment it seems I spend a thousand searching.

I search for purpose and meaning in the journey, I search for ways to share Maxs story and ways to inspire others as the walk through their own valleys. I search for strength within to keep going, and sometimes I just search for peace.

I have come to expect great things from my son. When you’ve seen what we’ve seen and walked the road we’ve walked you cant help but expect the impossible. Some days deliver and others don’t. I question at times what my place in the story is becoming. Am I becoming detached from the story? Am I becoming more of mouthpiece for the story and less of an active participant?

This is the place I found myself in when I heard the words “Max danced at school today”. The mechanics of the dance are of little importance, it’s the spirit of the line that captures the heart and mind. Hearing these words reset context, they bring the journey back into focus.
