This Is How We Find Our Way Back To Each Other Again
I can find it in sunsets
I can find it in flowers
I can find it in warm cups of tea
in familiar flavors
I can find it on long walks
in forests
on sandy beaches
I can find it under the stars
I can find it in the softness of morning
Now that I know it’s there
Now that I know it’s everywhere
I have been looking for it and finding it in people too
In those holding the door open
In those letting someone go first
In those lending a hand
In those giving someone going a little slower some time to pass
In a smile, a gentle word, in an understanding
I am finding it in those short interactions that are the thread holding us all together
Compassion is the quickest way to connection.
I am finding the kindness that exists in the space we share
It’s there in the long heart filled conversations that spill through the air like wet paint making abstract art
It’s in the warmth of being there, holding hands with one losing life and leaving this world
It’s in the moments that we will never get back
In knowing you are in the presence of people that really see you and believe in you
I am finding it more and more
This feeling that once seemed as far as the stars is now the surrounding light
I want to be apart of it more and more
Flowing love through this world in a big and small way
Softening all the places in my mind and heart that have been hardened by defeat and pain
Allowing this new perspective to make a path and find its way
To share experience
to give when I can
rest when I need to
start everyday open again
At sunset I want to know that my love is with all the colors blending spread across the sky
You can too
I know the power of your heart
I believe in you
I know your heartbeat is so alive and you have a unique love to give
The bravest hearts feel the most and they use it all to change the world in big and small ways
You have something to offer
Now is your time to give
This is how we will find each other
This is the way we find our way back to each other again
