When tears overwhelm your cheeks
and all you can see is a life met with leaks;
when all you ever see is fear, o subtle fear,
that few around you still can’t see,
then look at the moon and the stars,
all sorts of illuminations the world offers
and count it a blessing that you could see.
Lamittan Minsah
I believe it is a blessing to be able to both see and fully understand our problems and have a ray of hope of finding a solution.
So beautiful and inspiring . Love it!π

Beautiful, Lamittan. Looking up at the sky and stars gives us a wider view, a remembrance of how large the Universe is, and how small our problems are in relation. I love this. β€οΈ

Seeing and acknowledging our problems is the first step in finding a solution to them. It’s difficult when things become so bad that all we can see is our own tears. I love the way you’ve incorporated looking skyward for guidance and illumination. It’s so symbolic and, as Jeff mentioned, it adds perspective to our travails. Wonderful words as always, my friend! π
