unamerican beauty.

p.s.
i am going to stop pretending i have it all together.
my mind hasn't stopped spinning in weeks .. months, really.
& it seems i would give anything to finally have some clarity in this life.

but ..

the muddled messes give way to the clear streams if you look hard enough.
& the birds still sing even when it isn't quite spring.

& when the fog finally clears at the end of this life,
it's not hard to believe that the tears caused by this
beauty will happily and joyfully blind my straining eyes.

"and that's the day i knew there was this entire life behind things, and .. this incredibly benevolent force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever ... but it helps me remember .. and i need to remember .. sometimes there's so much beauty in the world i feel like i can't take it .. like my heart's going to cave in."
