Out-of-Place Things

Things that appear to be out-of-place hold so much beauty.

Next time you are overcome by the feeling that you don’t belong,remember that we have always marveled at the discovery of lost things.

We all want to be surprised, wholly and often, no matter how far this desire may be buried in the subconscious.

We want to bear witness to anything that is different, and everything that doesn’t make sense.

We want to be reminded, constantly, that freedom exists, that it can be embodied, but never controlled.

We want to look at the unusual things, the liberated things, the messy things, because in doing so, we grant ourselves the permission to be free, like they are.

To exist, like they do.

When we spend enough time marveling at what exists, we learn to understand that not a single thing is ever out-of-place.

So if you see yourself within lost things, know that you belong — here and everywhere.
