If I had the greatest honor

If I had readers

Which I don’t (now)

I would be thrilled if in one of 5 pages

Any given person could see a glimmer

A gem of an idea

That resonated and caught their heart

That would be so ideal

Not everything I write will make sense all the time.

Accounting for grammatical errors, distraction, sleepiness, stresses,

Human errors, etc.

So I would be thrilled with that alone.

However,

If something I write

Can impact the world in a positive way

Namely by helping make someone’s life better

By making someone’s heart sing

Then that would truly be the greatest honor ever

All with love

I’d like to have the experience

Of everything being of love

The problem is that I don’t see it that way in my heart

Because I’ve been hurt

Because I am jaded

But I’ve started to recognize that some people

Only know how to express love through pain

Pain to themselves

And pain to others

So in essence

It is love

And then others are simply oblivious

I could get mad about it

But I’ve suffered the same illness at times

Just part of the human experience

We can’t be “woke” 100% of the time

Can we?

Seems ridiculous to even try.

How about authenticity

That’s what I am striving for

Sheer raw authenticity

With a good dose of compassion and humility

Thrown in

When I can remember
