noticed
have you noticed
how quickly we are able
to return to peace
and make up
if we pause
listening to stillness speak
instead of guarding our defences
how easy it is to be present
with our missteps
if we begin to trust each other
with what we prefer to hide
and conveniently leave out
have you noticed
how our wounded hearts soften
and our armoured souls breathe
when we lovingly embrace our insensitivities
with laughter and tears of joy
have you noticed
how refreshing it is
how alive we feel
when touching truth
how authentic we do become
when we don’t flee discomfort
when we own our pain
and how our curiosity trumps assumptions
when we are not afraid of questions
that might not find answers
have you noticed
how love expands in the space we give
