.layers.

"Life does not accommodate you, it shatters you. It is meant to, and it couldn't do it better. Every seed destroys its container or else there would be no fruition."

- Florida Scott-Maxwell

The complex layers of it all - 

deeply intricately delicately impressionably interlaced together

The wave of a new connection
An inspiring element
The fierce reminder of a wound
That drop in my stomach when my shadow is projected on your story
A quiet stagnant moment

All flowing seamlessly into this very place - 
balancing the joy and the sorrow – 
the roller coaster 

Until I realize that my sorrow is what allows space and rich definition to my joy
