the weight of the world

she feels it sometimes, the weight of it all. of those around her who have less, who need more, and who just struggle to find balance. And she feels it so strongly. the weight of the world. the chaos of life swirls on by, toddlers laughing, babies crying, people wanting. tears of loved ones. she swims sometimes in tears of loved ones. she wishes life were so simple that she could do a carebear stare and help those around her rise. but that isn't how life works. She can smile and hope it is contagious. She can laugh and hope it is infectious. or she can hide.

she can just live day by day, focusing on her rhythms, her children, her life....
