I see you.
Come on out of that crater.
The one that is so big you don’t even realize you’re in a hole.
The one with the high edges that look like walls.
walls closing in.
but look.
a ladder.
yes. you’ll have to put effort into the climb.
i know you’re tired.
you’re beautiful when you’re tired.
now climb out of that hole.
step. grab. pull. repeat.
you see over the edge, and it is only vastness.
you look confused.
is it just another, bigger hole?
probably.
but isn’t that beautiful?
look back from whence you came.
deeper than you thought, right?
how did you get down there?
look.
i know you’re tired.
you’re beautiful when you’re tired.
but we have to keep moving
on.
