Some days (v. 3)
A short piece from the vaults, edited for today
Some days the answers don’t make sense.
Some days our push-pull way of relating is fully present and trying to be in charge.
Some days the rain comes and we feel cleansed.
Some days we can edit without losing what is important.
Some days we have a want that is so loud we want to scream back at it.
Some days our people who know us best are able to lovingly remind us of what we forgot.
Some days we find comfort in the void.
Some days we know that knowing doesn’t actually change anything right now.
Some days we can see clearly through the murk and muck.
Some days we can acknowledge what we have been missing but pretending didn’t matter.
Some days we have to let go and allow them to fly even when we are terrified they will plummet like we did.
Some days life is so complex with so many feelings we can only surrender to the chaos of it all.
Some days we remember. And in the re-membering we find peace.
