How do we live here
Between joy and pain?
Flowing.
Never knowing.
Holding onto the highs.
Avoiding the lows.
Pulling and pushing.
Overcome with joy,
Pain lingers.
Overcome with pain,
Joy shines.
Good needs bad.
Hope needs hopelessness.
Joy needs pain.
Feel it all.
There is beauty
On both ends
And in the middle.
Focus on the beauty.
Grit, Gratitude, and Grace
