In A Simple Passing Glance

Dear Friend,

We are not the glossy, carefully cultivated digital versions of ourselves that we present to the world. We are living, breathing beings of complexity who cannot exist without each other. And yet, our eyes so often see strangers when they meet the gaze of another. Perhaps, if we knew the immensity of beauty and humanity contained within a simple passing glance shared between two flawed humans, illuminating upon one another's face and form, we would buckle beneath the power of it, and finally recognize and remember each other.

We are not strangers.
