Our world can be a complicated thing.
We all know this. Sometimes it is good, and fine, and well. The world seems happy and bright at these times. It is easy to see the good. There are kind deeds, and nice people, and beautiful nature, and a million other things that might occur in this goodness. Peanut butter fudge. A new baby. A daffodil. The good, the good, the good.
And then there is the other side of the world. The one that lives right next door. Or perhaps it lives in the same living room. The one that is fraught. Yes. The one that is fraught with pollution, disease, and war. Evil people and wrongdoings. Famine, fatigue, and violence. Fear and more fear. The world that appears in the headlines. The corruption. The lies. The hatred. The discrimination. The fear.
And just when it looks like the whole place is going to implode with all these things?
There are still those people who can see the beauty. The ones who notice the little things. The miracles in the everyday. There are the people who act with kindness.
And those beautiful souls who live with hope and gratitude.
And do you know what is happening there?
They are carrying the entire planet.
And that is you.
You beautiful being, you.
