Being Humbled

There’s something truly magical
About a man being humbled
By his own bullshit, wounding
His shortcomings as a man
That man slows down
He moves with grace
He listens with care
He loves with an open heart

He becomes a vessel for God to shine through
The pain has made him soft
The experience itself
Has made him stronger than he ever was
And nothing will take that away from him
Until he finds himself
Again amidst all of his bullshit
