Click to viewI've stopped trying. Don't want to be seen as someone crazy in my attempts to say hello, so I'm not going to speak anymore. It's been strange having to beg for the words to pour out from across the table, see the mirror reflected in another person's smile. I usually am there to see the sudden realizations and hopes come alive. This time around I've fought to open space for this individual's budding soul. Nothing is safe enough, nothing can keep the air flowing enuogh in order for growth to occur.
I know that i have a lot of growing to do myself. My hope is that I have not stunted too many of the leaves around me in my desperate attempts to "make things happen".
I look around me and realize that I am a stranger to all the things I thought I knew.
