Born into pain we become blank. The gentle touch of a parent soothes our heart. Learning the World allows us to gain knowledge. Awareness of the World gives us pause. Finding our strengths and weaknesses shows us how to endure. Being alone in this World is not what we're brought here for. Solitude brings Awareness, yet the Epiphany of life is not fulfilled until we find what our Heart needs. And to find our Heart, we must seek what our Heart needs to survive. It's the gentle touch we remember as a Child that sends us out to look for that acceptance. Then, and only then will we be able to send the World away to sooth our Heart and Mind. It's as if Love were the Fueling Station for our Soul. I see many of us on Social Media searching for what we thought we had. Sometimes we "see" something out there that hits our Heart. Just like that gentle touch of a Human we hesitantly reach for, then pull back out of fright. What if it's not real? The only way to find if it's real, is to follow our Heart. But, letting our Minds lead the way. Because after all.... We're only Human. I'm not a betting Man, but I know what will soothe my Soul. And it's the gentle touch of another Soul that I see in front of me. I'm willing to risk it all to stop the rain from falling every day.
