I find it on the walk home
in the stillness,
of an empty street.
![a cobblestone street in Sweden, with a row of houses to the left and a sidewalk with trees to the right](http://blogs.studentlife.utoronto.ca/lifeatuoft/files/2018/07/IMG_0900-225x300.jpg)
Or the bustle
of the city.
In a campus of students
learning how to be.
I find it in the conversations,
the sharing of stories,
with friends,
new and old.

When the light of others,
radiates through them
as they do what they love.
I find it on the commute,
from here
to there.
In the travel to new places,
and the discovery of new spaces.

Sometimes it sneaks up on me
when I least expect it.
Or goes into hiding
when the pressure is on.
But it always shows up
when I really need it.

Although I may mess up,
embarrass,
hurt,
lose,
fail.
It's like a hug
of encouragement.
Letting me know
that I'm going the right way,
that I must keep learning.
