things I love
I love that instant
in which people actually listen -
not just with ears
but with their whole selves
- bodies, minds, spirits
full witnesses to your need to be heard
I love the unexpected kindness of
strangers
the faith they place in your humanity
your inherent sense of good and bad
and your willingness to pay it forward
the appreciation in the air when that
smile
finally wakens your face
I love when that someone close to you
knows exactly what you need
and when, and why, and how
and comes through at just the right
instant
without questioning
they just do it so that they know
you'll be fine
I love when the pieces align
snapping together in that satisfying
crunch
reminders that things work out
--- time, time, and time again
when you feel outside yourself
observing from the stars above
applauding life from the heaven
yet never having felt more aware
of what transpires within
I love when I can finally hear it -
not just with my ears
but with my heart and soul
and accept what's been said
without questioning
because I know it's true
somehow
and it's okay to give into ego
once in awhile
and recognize my own worth.
