There will always be...
the unceasing stare of those
on the outside,
asking you, please
open the window just a crack.
And once you do… when you do…
it will sweep you along
like a crazy cold river
that warms your heart
by beating it against the stones
over and over and over again.
You should do this
You should open up unprotected
in the hot sun
Because to go in peace, you have to know
that love is un-rest
Messy, impermanent, imperfect and pretty much the only chance we have.

—Charlie Watts
