If fear rises, the air burns on both the inhale and the exhale.
If grief stands out, the sun’s embrace is replaced by dancing shadows.
If anger keeps the heart, thoughts are ever so slowly dragging memories by their feet.
If despair is written, shaken feelings can’t speak right.
If unhappy is succeeding, the chance of happy is quiet.
And even if only one of those is true, something different is very hard to believe in.
Because nothing hurts like colliding with all that remains.
Like being alone in what has us.
Like the outcomes that feed us.
Like the parts that still feel as if they can’t be refused.
But then despite those impressions, hope has something to say.
Despite the sorrow, it doesn’t quit on us.
Despite the inability to give any more, it finds just a little bit more.
Despite not knowing where the love goes, it’s remains as a friend.
Because possibilities help with the chats that experiences impede.
Help unfold subtle flowers in the weeds.
Help with the contradictions that arrive without permission.
Help with the days that our smiles don’t mean a thing.
For hope isn’t just a label for when we doubt.
When beautiful memories are far away.
When it gets colder and darker.
When words weaken the day.
When the content isolates us in fear.
Its the soft partner drawing the duality of us together.
The conviction that did, didn’t and yet to be is unity.
The truth that the light hasn’t been shrink-wrapped and put away when the dark speaks.
The plan that perfect colors will keep putting themselves out there.
An interesting way of giving ourselves a hug in the war and a smile in the ease.
An idea that wanders the garden with strength for all not as a performance to make unhappy feel small.
Our own determination that understands the impact of crumbling and stays open anyways.
And no matter the weather, never reads our stories exactly the same way that we do.
Hope is always available for dreams, but its real artwork lies in freeing us from the concept that we can’t choose to take our words farther than what’s already been seen.
Have the best day, POSSIBLE for you. Love Always, Heavell
