sometimes the ugly in the world threatens to overwhelm.
don't let your light go out, friends.
but if you feel your light fading,
if you feel worthless or inadequate
or like you have failed and failed and failed,
i will leave a light on for you.
tell me if you are feeling like you will never be
good enough, accomplished enough, wanted, worthy.
tell me.
don't disappear.
i will leave a light on.
and i will tell you how very worth it you are.
and i will tell you at least on thing you are really good at .
and i will love you fiercely and unconditionally.
and we will not let the ugly in this world win.
we will bear witness to the healing and the good.
we will keep the lights on.
i will leave a light on.
