12.21.17 When There is Someone Honest and True

I see. How we tend to close our selves away from love, in hopes of avoiding pain.
But when we persist, and fill ourselves with our own love, with the love of others, 
then the sadness and pain we experience -

with misunderstanding
with disappointment
 even with loss

becomes a magnificent big full experience. 

That sets the table for our lives, and the lives of those around us.

So I press my palms, and deeply, into my chest, into the heart of all matter.
And I feel my love. I feel love living there.
I feel love  residing deep within me, so entrenched, so rooted. 

Love. There for all time.
