It Begins With You

See…it is neither simple,nor complex. Neither polished,nor raw. Just purely—human. It takes one vital ingredient.You. Not the world’s noise.Not the weight of who hurt you.Not the maps of how you were treated.Not the logs of how you coped. But—the way your heartstill softens. Kindness…isn’t a reaction.

Let It Be

Let it be. Simple, isn’t it? But experience says that’s one of the hardest things to do.
