Libby's Odyssey

at my core, i hope that i am a helper

a courier of light into this world

the chance to help someone

to make their life a little easier

is an honour within itself 

often, 

things that may feel minuscule to one

may make the world of difference to another

sometimes it’s just a whisper of reassurance 

that turns chaos into calm

i believe humans are kind by default

and malice and ill intentions are learnt

this is because benevolence is easy

raw

genuine

and the nefarious will always require a little more effort

i think it is the same with love 

who are we without it?

love is the blood running through the veins of our livelihoods

keeping them alive 

i think that’s why the heart embodies love

a conjunction of vitality,

and utility ? 

if nothing else, 

i hope the mark i leave on this world is crafted with kindness 

weaving my love into the string of time

“to love and to lose, and to still be kind”
