I See You

If we could only look deeply into the eyes of strangers, we’d see not a stranger at all, but a piece of ourselves.
As I stand in line, I see a man pull his shirt over a large belly. Beside him, a teenager glances anxiously at passing faces.
If people knew, they’d feel more compassion for one another. Indeed, they’d offer kindness even as they are shown anger.
The knowing inside me is too big. I’m surrounded by the noise and lights of the world, seemingly unchanged from before. My heart aches. I see you, but do you see me?
