a softer anguish

You can tell the ones who

have been through a lot.

Their eyes are deep and

there’s a hint of a smile,

even when they’re not

smiling.

They’ve lived through

more than words can say.

They just listen the way a

cove listens to the waves

that fill it.

These are the ones I want

to sit with, and wait for

their stories to surface

like bits of dawn that

wake the trees.

These are the strong-soft

ones who know how to

survive without shutting

down.

They are the masters who

blush at the thought.

~Mark Nepo

I find tiny grace tears…

inquiry for today~ what happens with insight?

the ride of the ancients….

We are ever evolving, ever becoming, and ever unfolding.

We can hold what we think we know about ourselves with open hands.

~Cassidy Hall
