people, i've learned, are most closely like wind.
sometimes they are the cool breath of fresh air in a desert,
sometimes they are the gust of ice that freezes your spine.
they are always ever changing direction.
none are occupied to stay around,
most are temporary and random at best.
and just like the tides, the weather, and gravity,
we must learn to live alongside of them.
let them go their course.
when they wander, we must wish them well.
when they circle back, we must welcome them in with open arms.
like wind, we must handle all of their sides.
like wind, we must love every part of others even if we do not like them.
in the way that we must learn how to see the harsh air as a means to fly kites, we must learn how to see the good in people too.
