My heart was reminded of love this morning, perspective
Little grains of hurt scattered on an open shore
Hurt is nothing more than a single particle of sand, insignificant to the whole
Standing back with a broadened lens we can see the ocean, open sky and so much more
Love always has perspective and courage
If it doesn’t
Maybe it is just another grain on your shore

Love has perspective and courage. I like this. This reminds me of the key line from the play “A Raisin in the Sun,” after the son misuses his father’s life insurance benefits that his mother wanted to buy a house with. Mama said to her irate daughter-in-law “It is easy lovin’ someone when they do right. When love matters most is when they don’t.”

Thanks. I remember my Literature professor making observations like that about this play. Another is he pointed out the daughter-in-law called Mama by her first name – they were friends.

Very lovely…. even though I try not to think of hurt as insignificant. I think we now live in a world where pain, hurt, and suffering are ignored and thus human emotions become insignificant when our leaders are vain bullies. But I’m an old protesting former flower child and I suppose I’ll always be looking to find that one grain of sand that needs comfort. I enjoyed your writing style and flow of words.

Thank you. I agree is is not insignificant and it is producing a lot of added layers in us humans. We could all use a little more compassion and kindness. So I am happy to hear you are looking for those grains of sand:)
