Reconciliation may ask us to listen to one another deeply. It may ask us to see each other with more mercy and tenderness. It may mean acknowledging the past and then starting anew.

I'll continue pursuing my happiness, even if for now, I have no idea what the future is trying to make me do.

Hang in there, sweetie // ma.c.a

[sylvesterjo]

we survived because we were the “smartest” species you say, we survived because jellyfish don’t know how to construct a Fighter Jet. We survived because our environment is ours to manipulate with walls and floors and lightbulbs to capture the sun and tunnel into night.

we survived by being faster in our cars and stronger with our tools, and better than we were before. We survived with language to build on the past with and weapons to fight the future. We survived because of our hands and our heads and the fact we make the universe itself knowable.

But then again, a mother will gain the strength of ten men to lift a full car off her baby. A man will spend eight hours nursing a puppy back to health and that dog will follow his every step from the doorstop to the grave. A best friend will dropkick an alligator in the water for the sake of him.

And I’ll tell you, maybe it was all of it. And maybe it was because we loved each other better than we hated, we loved each other in the dark before the lightbulb and loved each other more in the wilds before our walls, and we loved each other so thoroughly we made pyramids and libraries and monuments, and wrote not for the sake of money and food and living, but for the sake of wrapping each others hearts in velvet soft to escape the sandpaper winds of this world.

And that too is survival. That too is a reason. Not for our brains or our hands or our grit, but for our willingness to wrap each others wounds in bandages and set the broken bones of grandparents and sit outside windows and sing lullabies and love songs and cry over butterflies and sunsets and care too deeply. Care too strongly. Care too much.

That too is survival.

One of the 91 chedis (or stupas) decorated in ceramic pottery flowers and colourful tiles. The mural art is so detailed and intrinsic that one cannot simply walk away but stop and be amused. . . . #travelblogger #travelphotography #travelgram #traveldiaries #nationalgeographic #explorers #thailanddiaries #stayandwander #roamtheplanet #temples #structures #monuments #creativetones #visualambassadors #earthpix #welivetoexplore #mypixeldiary #bangkok #postcard #buddhism #igers #watpho #thailand (at Wat Pho Temple, Bangkok) https://www.instagram.com/p/BycvomzlDMR/?igshid=aqpc3pukpe5m
