Sometimes I feel so in love with life—

my friends, my family,

the space and time I was born into…

it’s a lot to hold.

⠀

I get so deeply grateful

for everyone and everything I come in contact with,

it almost works against me.

⠀

When people are harsh,

so confident in their opinions…

when there’s that “us versus them” mindset—

it stings.

I’m learning not to absorb it.

But I’ve still got some learning to do, I’m afraid.

⠀

The flip side, I suppose,

is when we notice the beauty in everything and everyone—

even when they don’t see it in themselves—

we’re given a glimpse of the Divine.

⠀

And I’m convinced that every time we catch a glimpse of beauty,

we catch a glimpse of God.

⠀

Anyway.

Just been emotional the last few days.

But it’s more than welcome.

⠀

Our emotions just make us deeply, beautifully human.

And how cool is it to be human?

⠀

We get to be here,

and we get to notice everything…

the joy, the despair…

And that’s pretty alright, I suppose.
