i believe.

there are many things im sure that i dont believe in, but what i do have faith in is part of me. I suppose i have faith in many things.
I believe in love. I believe in leather. I believe in the color black and its compliment, brown. And, in art, and music, an that moment in a song where you feel your heart will burst everytime, on repeat, for hours.
I believe in fall, and beauty. People, and friendship, Sorrow and pain. I believe in pain more than most things, because here is the essence of our human situation.
Pain is more real than anything.
I believe and advocate diversity, i believe so deeply in the color of skin, and the power of words and of language.
I have faith in metaphor.
I have faith in sweat, and hard work, movement, and skill.
I believe in raging shouting between sisters, but i believe even more so in that moment where you heart suddenly turns, and everything that seemed like such a big deal seconds ago is transformed into a deep remorse and sympathy. That moment where you see someone as human again, you remember who they are, I believe in that.
But more than all of these, I believe I'll go for a run.
