There is a particular kind of heartbreak that comes from paying attention.

When you allow yourself to really see the world, to witness suffering without turning away, to hold beauty and brutality in the same breath, something in you cracks open. That is a human reaction to an unfeeling world.

If you are carrying heavy things tonight, know that you are not carrying them alone. ꩜ Ella

Across the United States, where I live, strangers are not just sharing stories, glances, and shared laughter.

They are doing what my father’s neighbors did for him. They are standing watch. They are alerting each other. They are escorting children to school.

Strangers are opening their homes, their phones, their houses of worship, and their relational networks. Strangers are protecting each other, standing up for each other, and, harrowingly, even dying for each other.

I share more reflections on the people of Minneapolis, ICE, and my father's definition of a "good neighbor" in my latest newsletter: https://bit.ly/4rgx32N

The longing for things
that you could not have,

the yearning for places
you were not destined to arrive.

Wistful memories of what was
not ever meant to be.

Regret for not being who
you thought you would become.

These hallucinations of the soul
are agonizing prisoners

that must be pardoned
and released.

Clear the room.

Open the door
and let them leave.

And in this space,
you’ll paint

a glorious existence
of being here with presence

and contentment
for what truly is

a relevant
and meaningful
life.
