I often sit and wonder, alone and with peace of soul; about things that matter, emotions we seldom show. Heart breaks and forgotten lovers, grandparents and loving mothers. How we often take for granted the kindness of others and the seeds they’ve planted.

Why do we neglect those we love the most while raising our glass to strangers in a toast? I sit in awe at these thoughts of mine but in spite of my best efforts, I do it all the time.
