Introducing
This piece was inspired by Emma Samuel.
Because of who you are;
Because of how you are,
with me, with those I love,
with my fears and with my hopes,
with my absurdity, with my fragility.
Because of how you let me be,
with you, with all you are;
Because you let me in, despite everything.
For those rare souls who see you, the whole complex reality of you, and who want to know you even more when they do, both your darkness and your light;
who seek you out in every season of your being, assured and unafraid, and stand by you, fiercely, exactly as you are, and Because of everything you are;
who share their own darkness as well as their light,
with generosity, vulnerability and trust;
who are tender with your hopes
and gentle with your fears;
whose fragility holds yours with kindred care;
whose absurdity delights in yours;
with whom there are no masks,
no games or tests;
for those who make your heart warmer, lighter,
a kinder place to live in;
for those you carry with you,
whose kinship brings you back to the light.
Your being you is everything to me.
This piece was inspired by Emma Samuel.
