This is for you. for all of the women who come to me, defining their worth by their actions at the weakest moments.
The ones I have wronged and the ones I once believed had wronged me. For all of us, in the midst of creation and destruction, in our too much and our not enough.
Today, I sing our redemption song.
“Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don’t want it. What appears bad manners, an ill temper or cynicism is always a sign of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.”
~Miller Williams
We are all, at the heart of it, selfish assholes. And we are all, at the heart of it, good and decent people.
You have brought forth devastation and destruction.
You have been coldhearted and selfish and thrown some ugly sucker punches.
