The Sky & The Sea, As If On Cue. (Patreon)

Good late late evening my loves.

My favorite photo of the year so far.

I was walking by the sea with a close friend yesterday, and we saw this.

She’s always reminding us, isn’t she. The sea, the sky. The all.

All around me, America, heartache. I have friends and acquaintances who are navigating through incredible personal darknesses as the nation feels like it’s veering into the jagged rocks. The dying parents, the illnesses, the addictions, the helpless feelings, the estrangements, the grief.

The grief.

Look up.

And sometimes…a patch like this. Behold it and don’t stop marveling.

When this moment comes, stop, look.

Hold your friend’s hand.

Or if alone:

Hold your own hand.

Marvel! In Awe! Gape at the size of the sun and the ocean. Feel your tiny, soft-skeleton and breakable body, no bigger than a salmon, really. In relative terms. Think of the great whale.

Know that you’re just very small.

Take a deep breath.

The moment is finite.

The joy is finite.

And also; the grief is finite.

It may feel infinite, but nothing really is.

Don’t forget.

In the darkness, always, from somewhere, somehow, a light.

A light.

I love you all.

So much more soon. I’m catching up.

Tell us something good in the comments.
