I have laid myself bare to the ravages of emotions and endangered myself to its hold on me
I see only distance between where I stand and safety – the path uncertain to get there
I focus on the false hope and full pain and can’t envision the potential for unimagined joy
So do you retreat to lessen the pain – play it safe and never move forward?
You spend your time hoping and aching to find that partner in life you can lose yourself in. It can sometimes seem so far that you retreat within yourself and then out of the blue it may appear and you feel fear.
Fear of losing the control on your pent up emotions of closeness and desire and fear in that openess leaving you vulnerable.
Master the fear and remember it is better to battle that than stay behind your lines of defence and cower in the corner scared to look up and face the world and embrace its emotions.
Find Your Home…
Find your home.
It is where the light is when times are dark.
It can be found in your loving partner, the children we treasure, the family we belong to or the friends we share.
All are there to hold and protect us in our times of need.
You feel your sails catch the breeze and plot a course to them.
Give me the strength to realize that I can’t keep waiting for the journey to start – its too late. I lived it yesterday, am living it today and hope to continue to live it tomorrow.
Give me the strength to change things because they aren’t rewarding or enriching. Try something different and feel excited by the renewed possibilities
Give me the strength to leave myself open to communicating freely and listening without judging. To accept by doing so I am not perfect and nor is anyone else
Give me the strength to realize that I will hurt peoples feelings and they will hurt mine but trust that you don’t do it on purpose and nor do they.
Above all give me the strength to let go of the past, forgive those who hurt you, betrayed your trust as you did the same to others.
You have a good heart and need to see what others see.
You know what you need to do as it is inside you – the right thing
All it takes sometimes is someone or something to unlock it
A few words well chosen – a desire to act
As you stretch out to sleep and reach do you miss the feel of your companion
The person you touch in the night and consume that feeling of safety
The temptress next to you who you desire to be close to and feel
The rock on which you can anchor and experience the world with eyes wide open
Reach Out and Don’t Let Go
I miss that feeling in meeting someone special out for a moment
A shared time together to talk, laugh and enjoy each other’s presence
Too much today is gone in the blink of an eye – I’m guilty of distraction and short attention. Imagine committing to time and immersing yourself
Just relaxing with someone you feel connected with and block out the day to day
Turn off the phone, focus on that unique person with which you agree that moment
Take a drive to the wilderness and capture a quiet space and make it yours
Just sit and let the mind relax and wander
We enjoy reading and watching flawed characters because we recognize ourselves in them. We are flawed but so much more interesting that way and insanely human.
And how ever much we begin to examine and recognize those flaws in ourselves they continue to be unrecoverable and accepted
What instead happens is we sometimes try and mask them and show a different side to others until we find that partner, who we open up to wholly, and they embrace them and accept them as part of you.
I remember a friendship embraced as a new life began for me
I remember how easy it was to settle knowing a friend existed
I remember the support and advice
I remember the hopefulness in her
I remember the hard times, the upset
I will never forget the love and kindness you have showed me
I remember the tasting fun of wonderful wines
I remember the mosquito filled July 4th
I remember shared movies and in future years Oscar voting
I remember the feeling of safety knowing you are there
I remember the natural desire to be there if u ever needed
I remember and never forget that I am lucky to call you friend
I remember meeting Terry and how nervous you were
I remember laughing so hard and the kitchen joyful tears
I remember and will never forget that evening
I remember knowing what would be…
I remember the huge sense of pride when asked to stand with you
And so we arrive at that station in life that heralds the next part of your journey
I know how lucky I have been to watch a true connection of souls grow and flourish
It makes me smile and brings me immense joy by knowing ,by witnessing and sharing today
This cross my mind again this weekend and so I am republishing
Sometimes the true reflection of your intimacy and closeness with your partner is being able to know they will just sit with you. For those with someone to sit next too – enjoy and dont take for granted.
