a lifetime of little knots

While traveling with work I was constantly challenged. Rethinking perspectives, doing work that was difficult in nature, and operating on little sleep didn't quite help. I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone. While my body occupied this space, my mind went elsewhere. My mind focused on my connections. The bonds I had made all over the world. I reminded myself of my 'Why.'
Why do anything we do? It is some amalgamation of the people we interact with.
And in that, is so much power.
When you can see the power in others, you can see it in yourself.
Even the smallest of connections can be impactful enough to change a person's life. It certainly did for mine.
Of all of the wildly different humans I've befriended during my small amount of revolutions around the sun, each and every person has made me the person I am today. Better for it, and filled with gratitude.
