I was asked,
today
by a friend
"How do you go from
day to day life
watching everyone
live their lives
complaining
about worthless issues
without
being completely
enraged?
I don't know how you do it."
What my friend
doesn't
know
is that this
has been a huge
struggle of mine
for
years...
There have been days,
weeks,
months even
where I
have found
it hard
to even function...

There have been days,
weeks,
months even
where I
have found
it hard
to even function...
knowing
what I
know...
having seen
and heard
the things I have...
working towards
a solution
has
consumed my
thoughts
for years...
My friends
have grown
weary,
I am sure,
of hearing me
rant...
of me always
talking
about heavy
issues...
Even now,
it is very difficult
for me to
sit through
conversations
that don't seem
to ever
go anywhere...
that have
no depth
or meaning...
I have been
so burdened by
the weight
of knowing...
knowing their pain
& heartache...
knowing the injustice...
"I want to hear things about
you, from you sometimes..."
he says,
"Like senseless,
useless stuff that don't matter,
but do to you.
I would like to hear them."
Hmm..
Taking time
to be in nature,
finding beauty
in "ordinary"
moments...
finding joy
in loving
the ones
around me..
seeing others
find their
passion...
getting lost...
feeling the sun
on my skin
and the breeze
in my hair...
That is how I get by...
Finding beauty
in simplicity...
in knowing
that there is good
in the world
and that peace lives.
