STRANGERS IN OUR OWN LAND

I wonder if we're aren't all strangers
in our own land
Throughout our lives wondering,
How anyone could be as strange as we are?
It seems like it takes a lifetime to accept the embrace of enough--
that being ourselves is enough
When I look at you,
I never think you should be more.
I just think, "What exquisite beauty! what luck that I have met you!"

Perhaps it is time to offer ourselves the same kindness;
to open our arms up to our own strangeness.
just a thought....from jules
