maybe we begin to ask the ghosts to leave when we begin to ask some other folks to join us in our haunted places. in the broken parts of stories. our messes & our questions. to meet us, to know us, to help, to care, to listen.
we all have our past. we all have our pain. we will all know ghosts from time to time. but if our life is like a building, then we should open our doors to let some people see inside. & into our darkest places - into those rooms that hold our fears & dreams - we will begin to walk together. friends with hope like candles, telling ghosts to go.
