The bathtub faucet has been dripping for weeks,
I find peace in the sound that once grated me.
My cat has cried every night since his brother died;
He has now torn the curtains off the back door window
In his pursuit to turn the handle and escape outside.
It is his true nature of course.
My heart aches as well.
If we could see and recognize
How often
Humans cry in solitude
We would be much gentler in
Our approach;
Much kinder in our remarks.
Acknowledge, honor and heal.
Do not assume
A soul has been shown too much kindness,
For anyone you meet may have gone days,
Weeks or years without a kindness offered.
Some a lifetime without.
Each of us have the ability and choice in every moment, every breath to be this;
Love.
Now continue to create and give untethered for
This love is limitless.
I step mindfully on the rivers edge
As to not stumble and fall.
The water is very patient in this, its journey,
To shape the earth whether a drop or
A cascade.
I must stop and steady myself if I wish to lift my gaze to the heavens.
I hear a thousand voices in the winds.
Even the eagles above and the river
Below join in the chorus of our ancestors;
It is always love.
Songs of the stars resonate in our soul;
Reverberating melodies of love.
Hear the songs.
Their message traveling so long,
So far for us.
The very first note never-ending, shared here among us if we
Choose to brave the stillness and listen;
See.
And here is the harmony in healing;
It was never lost nor silenced.
