Humanity

We exist in a time that doesn’t come with any degree of sugar-coating.

There is no “easy” button to speak of or delusions about how difficult this time has been.

We are just here, playing out every emotion within the human experience.

Glennon Doyle says, “Being human is not hard because you’re doing it wrong, it’s hard because you’re doing it right.”

But within the struggle, a new doorway has appeared: a celebration of acknowledging shared vulnerabilities.

It’s hard for you? It’s hard for me too.

A means of creating connection during a time of disconnection:  

A signal flare in the darkness, as a reminder of our humanity.

Within this space; this village--

When we reach out, there has and will always be someone to reach back. 

And that knowing, has been a deep exhale. 

Yes the world is heavy, but sharing hope is weightless. 

On the days you feel like the sky is falling;

When you find yourself counting clouds--

Know that someone here will be there shielding the storm, 

So you can find your way back to the light.
