pertaining to anyone who has ever felt alone:
we shouldn’t only notice him when he runs, but feel him when he walks.
because we’re all walking this earth together. if we were all barefoot the same earth would lodge between our toes, sink into our teeth like honey on a slow day, feel one another through the core of the earth - the cores of our own - and we could all know the same love.
