Be Where You Are. Feel What You Feel.

Be where you are.
Feel what you feel.

Where you are is not an illusion,
and what you feel is quite real.
Poised and stoic,
it's the face you display
when the onlookers chime in
to say you shouldn't feel that way.
Be where you are.
Feel what you feel.

What if we all dropped the act
and embraced the totality of who we are,
instead of exhaustively overcompensating 

for where we have lacked?
Be where you are.
Feel what you feel.
What if we embraced 

the totality of who He is,
instead of trying to makes sense of it all?
Would life be but a vapor,
instead of an ongoing up-hill crawl?
Will we ever get that we're in this together?
Can we give ourselves permission
to come inside, out of the bad weather?
Be where you are.
Feel what you feel.
