“Don’t break your tenderness.” Jack Kerouac
Life shapes us as we allow it.
Cruelty and misfortune might make us choose bitterness.
Arrogance and hubris might have us become cruel.
In the dirt of endings, as we contemplate the final threshold of life, we get to ask how much we loved. How much we cared. How much tenderness we brought to the world.
…and to ourselves.
Busy ambition squeezes out human.
Please don’t break your tenderness.
