"And Marie is silent. And Marie smiles. And for a moment she is very, very beautiful"- CSA

You wake up.
You are better than yesterday.
Thank heaven for small favors.
You grow. You feel your feet stretch towards the earth, in to the earth. More than you are.
Transitioning.
There is no such thing as static days.
And you'll have to believe, against signs to the contrary, that it's ok to not stop moving. There are moments of symmetry. We will cross each other in this artfully patterned life.
Where you are at right now is acceptable because tomorrow will bring you further.
Most importantly, you do not travel alone.
So let's all keep moving.
Life can be grand in silence, even if all you believe in is noise. So have a little faith in something. Anything. It's faith that helps you not look back to worry over how far you've come.
We live in something made of love but it can only be seen if you love yourself. When you live in a cage of love and the walls grow too thick, forcing them to crack open. There you sit, a new chick and it's Easter after all. There you are, bathed in love, and ready.
There are things you want but they aren't what you need. What you need is time and you have time. Infinite time to make of the world whatever you have the heart to wish.
It's not a movie. It's not a book. It's better. You exist. Isn't that a pleasing thought? We exist. What a gift. What a charming thing it is to be alive.

And there is no reason to say all this today or any day. It's just a thought, a mood to pass the time. But I'm content with things today. Not thrilled or washed over magic or anything of fierceness that I tend to prefer. Things are ok. So why not be happy? Why ever not be happy?
