Courage
Thoughts on October 6, 2024
How to go forward on October 7
What if we are all just pieces of one broken heart?
Would the breaks be clean, the edges jagged, the divides filled with something?
What if courage is the messy business in between?
The slime we’re afraid even to see, much less swim in
The stuff bridges and borders and bombs are made of.
What if we are already whole?
