inside out

i wish there were an inside out day. 

a day where we all show up inside out,

and instead of seeing one another's outsides 

we see everybody's insides.

instead of seeing how much work people are doing on their appearance, 

we see how much work they are doing on their soul. 

instead of seeing what we perceive as physically beautiful,

we see what is spiritually pure. 

instead of name brands and fashion trends that people are wearing,

we see callings that people are wearing 

... and and truths that are wearing people out.
instead of what kind of cars people are driving,

we see what kind of hurts are driving people away from love. 

instead of seeing what is safe, 

we see what is real. 

what society and cultures deem beautiful 

is different in every society and culture ...

what is pure and good, sacred and true,

is the same

in every society 

and culture.

it needs no demarcation.

love is the movement,

from the inside out.
