what if, just what if, we were able to figure out how to understand, to finally realize, that every person’s experience of themselves, of their lives, of their very own journey is normal, and they have no need of anyone else’s endorsement, anyone else’s permission, anyone else’s approval, or of self appointed gatekeepers who long to enforce arbitrary artificial standards of what it means to be human. how beautiful would it be if we celebrated the way in which each person lives their one magnificent life and fought for each person’s right to be exactly who they are? what if . . . -bshivers

What if . . .    we made decisions as if    we were       deeply concerned          about the lives;       intimately connected          to the lives             of those around us —    those who       think,       look,       act,       love,       believe,       worship,       reason,       speak,       live,       exist             differently? What if? Now is our chance. - bshivers

What if  unconditional love really meant love without limits? What if unconditional love was no matter what, no matter who, no matter when, no matter where? What if life was meant to be a joyful response to this unconditional love not a lifeless, loveless, listless, guilt inducing catalog of dos and don’ts? Dwell here in the knowledge that this is no what if wishful thinking. This is. Live  in the comfort, in the peace, in the hope of this unconditional love. - bshivers
