a witness to bravery today...

 
this blog post
 
i receiving a smile
 in Starbucks today
 from a woman who has not smiled at me in many years.
 
a quick, vulnerable, raw, needs no answer, just an ear
confession email from a friend today.
 
my girl being there
 for both her afternoon classes
even when every fiber of her being wanted not to be.
 
my hot tears this morning
 
a dear friend
 stating her truth about what her job does to her soul.
again, no answer needed..just an ear.
 
a friend allowing her birth story to unfold as it needed to
rather than as she dreamed it would
- such bravery shown there-
 
we are all so brave
in so many small ways all day long.
