On a Cloudy November Day

The only way forward is inward

and outward

Inward through the alleys of self-doubts and ill interpretation

Outward like arms embracing infinity, millions

What matters?

What brings you joy?

What makes you come alive?

What feels true to you?

I am remembering how much I love homecooking

Warm heartiness on a chilly darkening day like this

The refreshing coldness of the ocean waves

Still dancing everywhere

Making memories, they say

I am simply grateful beyond words

All the people we chance upon each day

All the kindness without bound

Can we meet each other

See each other

Hold each other

Celebrate each other
