pay attention…

there’s a whole world outside waiting to meet you.

and there is a whole world inside also waiting to meet you.

let go of the stories you repeatedly tell yourself and meet this life.

here, in service…

perhaps we are here
simply to bear witness
to the world

her
suffering and joy

all the while reminding her

in the thickness of morning

and
the surrender into night

she is beautiful
and
she is loved.

…real love and truth
are stronger in the end
than any evil or misfortune
in the world.

Charles Dickens
