Sonder
Each
person you pass on the street,
holds
the strange beauty of a strange life.
We
all breathe the same air,
and
will die without it.
Avoid
narrow tipped assumptions
of
not wanting to invest the time to know
peculiar
characters, rough hewn and angular,
who
enjoy the talents
of
spontaneous, unplanned actions.
Some
leading a saintly life on reverent missions,
others
bearing subdued pain kept inside.
Lots
of individuals have skeletons in their closet
that
dance for them.
What
will you see when you look in yours?
