I love this piece because of the clever sentence structure and the usage of words – encompassing both pain and hope, beauty, truth, and grace.
This piece makes me look within myself to find the truths to the profound questions he asks. His choice of words are intentional and powerful.

May we find beauty and truth in the most unexpected places this weekend, and may it set us free.
