Where Thoughts Go
Not every journey carries us across oceans.
Some happen without moving an inch.
A memory interrupts the present. A question refuses to leave. A hope quietly takes root. A loss returns without warning. While the body remains standing in the middle of a crowded square, the heart has already traveled somewhere no one else can follow.
Perhaps that is why every face deserves more grace than our first impression allows.
We meet people in the middle of conversations they are having with themselves. We encounter them while they are carrying burdens we cannot see, remembering moments we did not witness, or searching for answers they have not yet found.
We often assume we are looking at a person.
More often, we are looking at a moment in someone’s unseen journey.
