Is it a hidden smile?
Is it an obvious nudge?
Is it a knowing nod with a finger placed alongside your nose?
I think it looks like peace.
It is the wonder of living in the moment. It is an unfettered walk where clotted clouds can be noticed, appreciated, and left to their own devices.
Or the belief and true knowledge that we are never alone despite the darkened paths we find ourselves walking. It is more than faith. It is acknowledgement and acceptance.
Beyond that, it is the alluring ability to show compassion and forgiveness to ourselves as well as to those who have allegedly trespassed upon our delicate egos. It is being true to yourself, your true self, the one that is often hidden from you except for the most silent moments, without allowing the corruption of emotional impact to adjust our vision.
It is recognizing that in silence and contemplation, every one of us can be aware of our ties to each other. Every one of us can see how the other ones lives. Every one of us can be that best version of ourselves and shine in purity.
Moreover, redemption allows us to see that we have overcome great obstacles that impeded our progress towards a greater knowledge of ourselves. It is that understanding that allows us move beyond the trappings, real or imagined, and just be.
