scraps of truth
i love packing.
so many random bits and pieces of my life fall into all the cracks between the places i'm paying any attention to at any given moment, and they all come out to play whenever i am packing.
*
i have the bizarre tendency to scribble random scraps of thoughts on used envelopes that always seem to fall between the cracks when i'm not looking.... and then i find them at the oddest times and have something to think about or laugh at or wonder what on earth i was thinking when i wrote them. like the one i found that simply said, "god in the blender."
yeah.
but today i found another bit of envelope truth from about two years ago that made me surprised that i had written it. especially because i can't remember writing it. it made me stop and think.
"i am able to forgive myself for being human. knowing that life is hard and virtue rare, i keep the ancient faith, believing it is better to love than to hate, and to live fully, even if imperfectly."
