Pigeon Letters

Dear John,

You are good to everyone, except yourself. There is no best. You don’t have to soar in greatness. John, you don’t have to earn people’s love. Love is free. Say, thank you.

Life is complicated…not so much in medleys of connections, but complex in the mix of all life’s colors. We can’t change the past; We can only change the way we feel about it. The reason we hit rock bottom is to find a solid foundation to stand on. No one walks on water.

Here. I give you my shoulder. You may rest your head, or you may stand upon me and marvel at the horizon. Every distance starts with a single step.

A phoenix must first die. Beauty is watching one rise from their ashes. If you’re hurt, then hurt. If you’re mad, then loathe. If you’re sad, then dress in all black. Suffering is to live in the past; Anxiety is to live in the future. Live in the now.

I begin writing again with you.

Thank you.
