If anyone had told me--years ago--
that none of us make it through this world on our own,
not even in a utopia--
and I had seen their sincerity in saying this,
how much taller would I be standing?
From how many aches and falls would I have been saved?
Or, for that matter, how many more would I have stumbled upon
knowing that I could heal? Not being afraid to venture out and reach?
I know each of us is different,
and moves through this world in their own direction,
carrying their own weights,
but I want to focus my watch on my starlings,
the first six or seven around me,
so that I don't feel as lost.
