"Let the world kiss you, sister. Let the moment kiss
the most raw and tender spot in your heart until you
cannot help but surrender, open."
Chameli Ardagh
Life can grind us into soft sand or pound us into grain. It will take from us when we are most vulnerable and withdraw what little we have saved. We can be stripped of honor and treated with disrespect until we are numbed down to the bone.
The purpose of endurance appears to be minuscule and strength disappears in the rain. The sun turns the skin into parchment and pain. The cramped hand can no longer hold the pen, thoughts no longer thread together, and we barely remember our name.
When we turn our face one last time, a simple kiss can bring change. Hard crust is washed away by tears of joy, and our raw and tender spots are no longer inflamed. The light of love shines through deep creases and heals our shame. Open to love, and thrive again.
