Misery
It's surprising how it loves company.
Yesterday was maybe the worst day of the year for me. It was full of challenges that I did not see coming. Pangaea broke-up all over again and I didn't like it.
I found out just a little bit ago how terrible of a day it was for almost everybody else in my building. I think I was comforted and relieved by the news of our common experience. I don't want others to have bad days at all, but a shared experience - whether delightful or distressful - draws me closer to others AND it gives me a wider perspective. Open eyes. I get freed from the heaviness of hard times when I know that I was not alone and that others understand what happened.
It rained late last night. I did not see it coming. Suddenly, I heard the strong winds violently shake the trees. The water fell down hard onto the surfaces of everything.

and delicate flowers...that you never imagined could take such violence...or survive such a beating...stretch their limbs out to the sunshine the morning after the rain...more of everything they were before.
