“When you stop
fretting over
your own scars,
and start
kissing
the scars
of another.

That’s
how you
know.”

Love lies hidden even in the quietness of the rocks. And on beaches where no one has yet walked, or even touched with their dreams. Love is hidden in cloudy days and darken skies just waiting to be discovered. You do not need windows to see that love is a cousin of the wind. It can be felt but not easily seen. Look within. Mysteries are not always solved by looking outside. There are things that we need never understand and places we do not need to see or be. The truth is everywhere - crying out to be found! The faithful earth has seen many sunsets and many dark periods, yet it keeps spinning around ever searching for the sun. That the gift of light, that forever waits on the other side of our darkness. We should be more like our brother earth. Regardless of how dark it may seem, we must keep moving towards the light. Truth will wait for us patiently, as if, time was not real nor mattered. Love, my dear friends is the only truth. The only light worth turning towards. The only thing that is real!

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.

And when you appear
all the rivers sound
in my body, bells
shake the sky,
and a hymn fills the world.
