Seemingly Small

When we ask someone if they are okay
let us be kind
and authentic
and
compassionate

Not because we are supposed to
but because we are all struggling in some large or small way 
and we need each other to lean on

Do you ever notice when people say they’re okay
but they have sadness in their voice and pain in their eyes 
and you just know they feel alone

How many people think they have to feel that loneliness 
instead of asking for a listening ear 
because the thought of asking for help 
seems to be a more difficult task than living with the pain 
and what a tragedy that is

Let us be gentle with others
because we have no idea what our seemingly small acts of kindness 
are doing for those we didn’t know
had that much pain to bare

To Feel It All Is To Be Alive

We are supposed to feel…
Emotions are meant to awaken us.

We are supposed to
love
and hate
and cry
and laugh.

That’s the point.
To feel it all is to be human.

We are supposed to be destroyed.
Pick up the pieces over and over again.

Don’t avoid it,
don’t remove it.

Accept the pain when you’re broken.
Know that you’re going to make mistakes.

We grieve,
we get angry.

But it’s only then that we recognize how good life can be when it’s really good.

To feel it all is be to alive.
