| Your Voice Thinking here of pain and love and steadfastness and growth. Thinking of a friend most dear, who because of great love and acceptance, has never flinched as I unfolded my soul... slowly facet by facet I revealed the truth of who I am..myself flinching, holding my breath watching carefully to see all those I love turn away. Here I honour my one friend, who stepped back and saw me and in their love and kindness helped me face myself. There is no more fearsome place than alone looking at one's own darkness. "Some people call it acceptance and forgiveness...but it is not; it is unconditional love" Is that not what each of us vainly searches for? Another who sees us, and loves us, and here I quote my friend. A love that loves us anyways... One thing I do know, healing for me has taken too many years and too much pain, and not all of that has been my own. There are drawbacks to accepting responsibility... where does one draw the line in loving.... how does one differentiate between loving as a friend, and loving with all one's being... How many of us ever find someone who trully loves us for ourselves Darkness, Light and all shades in between????? Minutes The gift of time where we take moments to wander in and around each other.... the gift of thought and caring.... of giving...and risking ones true self. I could not give what I could not find, and now I have nothing else to give,.....JUST ME. Now it trully does not matter as Ii have nothing else to lose, .. JUST ME. |
