As I hold my own
contradictory ways
I grow to hold
those contradictions in others
not to give permission for bad behavior
but to recognize
the very humanity in me
the messy ups and downs
opening and closing
not always available
or happy
imperfect
messy
beautiful
raw
Humanity in myself
is also
in you
and to love
forgive
embrace
allow
hold loosely
this humanity
within
is to do the same
for you

I see the world through stories and insights. I have always been a sensitive soul, especially towards nature, people, art, and faith. I spend a lot of time reflecting and finding treasures wherever I can. The two values I live by are beauty and celebration. I hope my blog communicates those two things, seeing beauty where beauty is not often seen and celebrating every aspect of life, the hard and the easy.
