Distance

I’ve come to find that distance makes everything more beautiful.  The way a city looks, all lit up, as you drive past the skyline. The way shards of glass reflect light to make rainbows on the wall. The way snow looks as it gently falls outside your window. The sound of rain coming down as you lay warm in your bed. Or love, when you see those who seem so happy and perfect together.

But, the truth comes out when you get close up. It’s only face to face that you can see when things are cold, dirty, dangerous, and broken.
