It's all about
perspective. The more we focus on things, the more we miss. I
consider myself to be an observant person, but I know that left to my
own devices I easily become overwhelmed with the details. So much of
me is about the details.
Sometimes, details feel
like they're all I have. I cling to them, and they cling to me.
Last week a sweet,
wonderful little soul moved on.
Today I needed
something pink to wear to her visitation.
Pink. The simplest of
gestures.
As I stood in front of
my closet, I felt the weight of so many things pressing against me. The lack of a place to
live in less than a month, new job, new schools, lack of money
brought about by my own gullibility, leaving all familiarity for the
unknown. So many variables. So many worries.
But in that moment I
just needed something pink.
Because that moment
wasn't about me, or my problems, real or imagined.
It was about finding a
fitting way to say goodbye. It was about letting go.
Sometimes, when life
seems to be at its most complicated, focusing on the simple things is
the best solution.
In that moment, there
was no me, worries, houses, money or false promises.
There was only a pink
sweater.
