Faith is not absolute. It is a matter of understanding, than being swayed, of being pulled in and pushed away, of conviction and confusion, neither one giving way. Love is not constant. It is a matter of remembering and forgetting, of growing weary, then lonely of gratitude and regret. Utopia is not an impossibility, nor an eternity. It emerges like a moonflower at dusk, Breathe in the wonder, let down your defenses, then go back to being tough. We get pulled into deceit and away from each other. Life is a process of returning. Return stronger and freer. Get better at surrender. Experience the sublime in a moment, knowing it will not last forever.

Returning
Faith is not absolute. It is a matter of understanding, than being swayed, of being pulled in and pushed away, of conviction and confusion, neither one giving way. Love is not constant. It is a matter of remembering and forgetting, of growing weary, then lonely of gratitude and regret. Utopia is not an impossibility, nor an eternity. It emerges like a moonflower at dusk, Breathe in the wonder, let down your defenses, then go back to being tough. We get pulled into deceit and away from each other. Life is a process of returning. Return stronger and freer. Get better at surrender. Experience the sublime in a moment, knowing it will not last forever.
