Everyone has been
doing the best they can
the whole time.
If it could be any other way,
it would be.
This is how it is.
Behold the beauty
growing from every crack
in the armor of the struggle.
The miracle of the great mystery
remains ever-present, immanent
even in the depth of suffering.
We only realize this
in the fleeting moments
of timeless liberation.
But whenever we do,
it’s true all along.
