Dear only only one.

breathe in the air of the outside; have you been in the company of the many many?

join me and i will remind you of the joy and acceptance on the outside.

it is not only the only only ones who can bring you comfort...the whole world is waiting to share their gifts with you. and the world waits for you to contribute your own colours to our inclusive painting.

i have seen others try to pull you amongst us; what an enigmatic and toilsome experience!

Still, they try.

does this action not provide you with the comfort and safety needed to take that first courageous step?

and others that have attempted to penetrate the boundaries you have created with much dedication...i watch as they walk away dejected; often feeling unworthy of your love.

but i fear you know not the effect of your self-created jail.
what more can we do?


Today you may feel drawn to trees. And tomorrow the stars.

The stars are waiting, dear friends.
Even the trees whisper their names.

My being-at-home-again realizations:
1. My people are literally awe-some. So are yours.
2. Love goes a much longer way than we can imagine.
3. So does fear.
4. We are purpose. We are meaning.
5. No matter what, you can count on this moment passing right on by. Embrace the phenomenon of time. It holds so much power, yet still willingly shares the control with us.
6. You have no idea how much you mean to the world. Friends...may your life be filled with people who remind you of how beautiful you are.

love love love

"We're all friends here..."

Do you remember when the kid across from you in grade 1 was your best friend because s/he liked the same colour marker as you and waited for you at recess?

I miss the simplicity of that adoration.

How did we get so complicated?

We're all friends here...right?

Have i done what i could?

Our philosophies may hold strong...but nevertheless, old nonsense often tends to resurface, doesn't it, friends?

Maybe the act of remembering our battle scars and our struggles pushes us closer to what it is that we wish for...
