Understanding

Even as it happens, it’s hard to figure out.

And later, after the tears have slowed, clarity emerges.

It can’t be preserved in a vacuum. It was good because it was good. It was great because it was allowed to be, not because it was supposed to be.

Could it be again?

Who knows, but with soft music playing and a fresh absence of the tension of trying so damn hard all the time…

There is understanding.

Of me, of you, of everything that’s true.

These things are tricky, and fear makes it even trickier.

So how ’bout we tell fear to take a hike, a long walk off a short pier, a permanent vacation.

I don’t have any idea how it’s supposed to be, but life is too short (and too long) to be steered by fear.

So simple and so complex.

Just like me, you, and everyone else in the world.

A big step back and a fresh perspective, a relaxing of the rules.

Realization.

Thanks so much.

For Understanding.
