each one can be true.
two friends
both on the same kinder playground
under the same spring sun
sitting on the same wooden bench
each sharing a complaint with the other
one says that she is so hot that she is sweating
the other says that she so cold that she is freezing
both are sincere in describing what they are feeling
each accepts what the other is saying
and listens without judgement.
—
“truth can be stated in a thousand different ways,
yet each one can be true.”
-swami vivekananda

strength.
wearing an ac/dc t-shirt, ripped up jeans, and velcro shoes
all while wrapped in a cape made from your swaddling blanket
bestows unlimited strength and heroic powers upon you.

“a hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength
to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.”
