Are you thirsty?
Some of the
Coolest
Most refreshing
Deepest cleansing
Absolutely soothing
W A T E R
doesn’t come from a faucet
Doesn’t pour from a pitcher
Doesn’t spill from a glass
Doesn’t cascade down from the sky

Are you thirsty
Sip with your eyes
Drink with your fingers
Gulp with your ears

Have your fill
And then go about
Quenching
Another’s dripless
Yearning

It’s not so much
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU DRANK YOUR FILL

so much as 
WHEN  WAS  THE  LAST  TIME
YOU  QUENCHED  A  THIRST.            .            .

If you’re not letting
YOUR   WATER
f               l               o               w
you are
stinking stagnant .            .            .

The Glass That Doesn’t B R E A K http://thecaringcatalyst.com/the-glass-that-doesnt-b-r-e-a-k/ http://thecaringcatalyst.com/the-glass-that-doesnt-b-r-e-a-k/#respond Mon, 06 Mar 2017 12:00:55 +0000 http://thecaringcatalyst.com/?p=1762

Are   your   Endings

truly   your   Beginnings.     .     .     ?

It feels like an easy answer, doesn’t it?

Maybe this is what really makes us

H           U          M          A          N  ?

These ominous endings and beginnings. . .

these bend-over-laugh-till-you-throw-up-moments

and the I-can’t-stop-crying-instances;

Maybe it’s our insatiable curiosity

or our impending doom gloominess. . .

What makes us

H          U          M           A           N  ?

What makes you distinctively

human?

Your laugh.     .     .

Your sigh.     .     .

Your moods.     .     .

Your smile.     .     .

Your tears.     .     .

Your compassion.     .     .

Your empathy.     .     .

Your eyes.     .     .

Your facial features.     .     .

Your ability to question.     .     .

Your ability to answer.     .     .

what.          .          .what.          .          .w h a t.          .          .

makes          y     o     u           h u m a n ?

It’s enough to shatter your pretty glass, isn’t it?

Well in a World of

u n s u r e d n e s s 

here’s some fragile trustworthiness:

Your Glass may be shattered. . .but never broken

It’s   your

f      i      l      l      a      b       i      l      i      t      y

that’ll  make  sure  your  glass  is  never  fully  empty

a     n     d

by  the  way.          .          .

Raise it up high
