This is how beautiful we are.

How amazingly amazing.

And emotionally versatile.

In one morning a whole life can pass.

Fear of the future.

Sadness and guilt, looking back on the past.

Anxiety and worry in the moment, now.

We can think and feel a world.

And we do.

The things we still have to do.

The things we should have done.

The moments we didn’t grab.

The times we didn’t cherish.

The love we held back.

The opportunities we ignored.

And the opposite of all those things.

So much thinking.

Judgments.

Criticism.

Disgust.

Shame.

That too.

Because there’s more.

Much, much more.

We can rise up.

Feel inspired.

Follow our beating hearts into the unknown.

We can comfort and share and be patient.

We can dream and hope and enjoy, deeply.

We can love, we can BE love.

All in one morning.

Amazing.

Beautiful.

That’s you.
