$2.22

I once venmo’d a woman $2.22 because she let me use her room to cry at a party.

She never asked me for the money, I just thought about her energy, and about how good she is at creating space for other people, and felt like giving it to her.

When I reflected on that today, I realized how beautiful that is, that her empress energy is so in flow that others just randomly think about paying her for acts of kindness. And she receives it.

It makes me wonder about how much space I have to create inside of me before I can begin to create spaces for others and receive willingly as she does.

I know she has lost so much.

So have I.

It is in the loss where we find the warmth & kindness.

It is in the mud where we find gratitude for the warm shower.

It is when you are sobbing at a party that you realize what is really valuable to you, so much so that you would pay for it even if you don’t have to.

I don’t even think she knows I paid her $2.22. Wish I could give her more for all of the clarity she’s given me over the past year.
