Contemplations on Love

Love and Surrender

Not every love story is beautiful.

In fact, most of them are ugly and bloody.

In matters of love, there are rarely intact survivors. We are all bruised, broken, and maimed… sometimes for life.

Every Centimeter of You

Every centimeter of you grows on me

My fingers flow lightly

Trailing the course mapped by freckles

Making contact with a gentle intention

The Greatest Challenge in Love

The greatest challenge in love is not finding someone to love.

Nor is it knowing how to love better or deal with the brokenness of another.

It’s got nothing to do with someone else.

The Mirror

The mirror is the voice of my father

Telling me who I am

Who I could be

It’s the voice of my mother showing me

The way of love and radical acceptance.

Woman

The way she walks

Is Spring in deep Winter

Fresh, breezy, brisk

This vision walks right up to me.

Elegant in her gait

Probably the best movie quote I heard lately

“When it comes to love, there is nothing quite so good as clarity.”

(Margot Robbie‘s character in “Amsterdam.”)

Let Go… Let Life Flow

No matter how hard I try, there are things I cannot just let go.

Or simply move on although someone tells me its in my best interest.

It’s easy to say let go when you’ve never been so attached that separation leaves you breathless.

A Safety Manual For Relationships?

Flying in an airplane for most of us is a relatively low-stress experience. We don’t board an aircraft expecting the worst-case scenario or clutch our seats tightly expecting engine failure and a crash landing at each cloudy bump in the sky.

Drawing You Out

I am drawing you out

To a place, a state of living

That is long neglected

That holds the key

To the bliss you seek.
