Can't say I remember a time when
I realized I had been blessed with life.
It was just there, taking up space.
Seems like the most natural thing of all,
and yet it is a miracle beyond comprehension.

I am deeply touched by your words. For me, helping another person see me through my words, or understanding what I am painting with words is the ultimate goal.
