More than putting another man on the moon,
more than a New Year’s resolution of yogurt and yoga,
we need the opportunity to dance
with really exquisite strangers. A slow dance
between the couch and dinning room table, at the end
of the party, while the person we love has gone
to bring the…
inner turmoil, chaos, confusion. these are mental states of being that every one of us finds ourselves in now and again. some of us are blessed with individuals who understand us even in moments which we don’t understand ourselves. while pouring my soul out to my cousin over a smoked duck panini at a chic little brooklyn cafe, she stated one of the most monumental ideas to me with such ease that i remembered she has no idea how beautiful her aura is. “happiness, is not a static state”. those words grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and threw me back on the dirt road to self actualization. so to her, i say “in searching for my inner soul child, i have found that you are my soul sister.”
this photo, she snapped in state of vengeance beautifully illustrates the new motto she has given me, completely unaware of. a picture taken out of spite, yes. but a picture taken while we were in the midst of possibly the worst, but absolutely the best and most beautiful moments we had experienced together. “hapiness is not a static state. it is not a box with a check next to it that you can mark off at the end of your life and say ‘ok, i’m here…i’m happy’. you live your life, and you are happy along the way, not the whole time”.
Love it
