Kindness is Free

Let go of your shame 
And you'll be able to love
In a way that has scared you
Yet you've always wanted

Don't fear your compassion
Your care and kindness
Scared of the scorn of those who won't 
They're not stronger because they don't

Just be, liberated
Free yourself of your perception
Don't always try to ease the anxiety
Both of yourself and others

Sit with it
Walk with it
Talk with it
Accept it

The greatest part of letting go
Of the worry and indecision
Is you never miss them
Because they never change things anyway

When you pause 
Let yourself rest
And when you can't
That's okay too

It's okay to feel
It's okay to be too much
It's okay to be exactly who
You want to be

You don't always have to share
But it's okay to share too
The ones who care for you
Will want to see the real you

Sharing isn't the same
As sharing everything
You can be understood
Even when you say less

But more is okay too
Don't censor your heart
Just because someone else
Would say it different

Love yourself
Love the ones you love
Have fun
Be present and free

Yay Anxiety!

I gave you more than you asked to receive. I misinterpreted you sharing as a desire to feel care through the expression of understanding and thought of you. The distance between us is too broad of an expanse for you to expend the energy to keep in touch.  I get it. I don't agree with it, but I accept it. I don't need to convince you otherwise. Knowing you this briefly has taught me what a longer connection never could. Vision taught me that a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. It's a simple truth, but it resonates. I wish it wasn't over, but I also see that it is better for me in ways that it ended so quick. What do we owe one another? You told me it amounts to nothing. I think you're right, but I think you missed that a good relationship is never owed. We choose it. It's a verb we do because we want it. It's not about debts to be served, but service freely given. Or maybe you already know that and just don't want to give any more. Thank you for...

whose side are you on?

The starving of hostages is atrocious, but I am curious, would you be more enraged over it if the Israelis did this to a Palestinian captive, all the while Palestinians were actively driving Israel out of Jerusalem with the use of the sort of overwhelming military force that Israel is using today? Imagine if the U.S. supported Palestine instead. How would you feel? I can't think of the ongoing atrocities in that region without thinking of Bob Dylan's, "With God on Our Side," and wonder, why didn't God just do this to the Romans, if it was truly the way he wanted the Holy Land reclaimed in the name of his chosen people. It is hard to imagine a more arrogant and solipsistic claim that a people could make. I get it, it is quite a rhetorical device, but quite unknowable and beyond proof to the point of absurdity if you examine it closely and don't just, "take it on faith," that God cares about some peoples more than others. If you believe the Palestinian...
