I have heard it said we are the uninvited.
We are the unwelcome.
We should take our misfortune elsewhere.
But I hear your mother’s voice,
over the tide.
and she whispers in my ear,
”Oh, but if they saw, my darling.
Even half of what you have.
If only they saw.
They would say kinder things, surely.
— Khaled Hosseini, Sea Prayer
