This Is Also Who We Are: let it pass through

Life can be hard. Interpersonal relationships, difficult. People you love will disappoint you and you will disappoint them. Hearts get broken and mend. Nothing stays the same or lasts; people grow up and grow old. We are all inexorably connected like organs in a body, yet hurt each other deeply with words. I'm not trying to be profound and I don't have solutions. These are just my real observations.

And when sadness strikes, there is always something to redeem it, like the relief of a big breeze on a hot and humid day. Or your children playing together happily in your grandmother's lake. Beauty endures.
