Belonging

"So where in the end do we belong?

In the eyes of another, where we see ourselves reflected?

Or arm in arm with those whose faces echo our own,

whose blood we share?

Or is it in the heart of the family we create, where we are safest,

and best known, and never lonely?

Perhaps we belong where love can bloom,

because we give it room to put down roots

 and space in which to thrive.

Seeds fly in upon the wind and settle where they will.

We all belong somewhere.

If we're not nurtured as we should be,

we must find a choice to make, a place to go,

a harbor where the the storm is held at bay.

Sometimes simply belonging to each other is enough,

and what matters is not the struggle

but where we find our peace."
