What shows
how little
we know?
What can be is
oft far less than
what we expect.
What is now
has never been
what it was.

At some point, over the past couple of days, you have encountered a feeling. It may be fleeting, or it may stretch out over days or hours, often mixed with memories, stirred up by occasions or conversations in person or over the phone.
Kindness and gratitude are wonderful reminders.
Emotions make it real.
Our humanity is acknowledged, the spirit privileging our existence.
We have, perhaps, felt these same feelings at other times throughout the year, but there is something about this season that provides a certain clarity.
This is what it means to be human; this is the reality that keeps you going day after day.
This is your hope.
This is the truth that gets you thinking.
Think of it more often.
Emotions make you feel.
