Tonight I went to see my family
It was not easy, we haven’t spoken in 2 years
The hurt, the pain, the damage, the trauma; it’s real
Unforgiveness has a way of latching on to the soul of humanity
The hurt outweighs the healing
The anger, bitterness, and resentment
Outweighs the possibilities we can create if we walk in love
In spite of it all, without permission, I showed up
I came empty
No expectations to be hugged
Loved
Respected
Honored
I chose to be a living example and embodiment
Of Jesus’ love
Reciprocation was not a requirement
Tomorrow I’ll return home
Grateful to have supported my family during a wonderful occasion
Perhaps, I’ll return to the morbidity of our brokeness
And wallow in seas of envy as I watch other families bond in love
Standing for one another
Let me stop
I don’t want reality
I’m living in a moment of
Representation
Love
Joy
Endurance and hope
I like it here
Hopefully in a temporal plan
I remain frozen in time
Incubated in amber
Smiling
Reaching
With
Open arms
Waiting to be
Released, freed from division
That often prevents me from being whole
Let me stop
I only
want
This Moment!
I got a hug!
