maybe the kindest act we can perform is to ask for permission
there are some of us who seek solitude, but we don’t do it alone
how something gets worn can help us to understand how we see the world
when we place value on only one part, the whole loses all value
we ignore the signs we think are not meant for us at our own peril
much of what we hear isn’t what is being said it’s time to listen
when two things appear at first glance to be the same we rarely look twice
nothing represents an idea or a place unless we let it
maybe the monkey represents human struggle but probably not
even in darkness there are signs of hope, if we are open to them
