This morning,
I am wondering how you are doing
in the sort of
in-between of things
sometimes the hardest part
when the weight of it all
sets in
to
a sandy bottom
where complete body exhaustion
settles over
and the brain, knowing of a grace-filled
peace
instead feels kind of
fog<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love
caring
peace
grief
guilt
relief
release
breathe in, breathe out<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the why\u2019s having been exhausted
the this and the here\u2019s
taking you more gently by the hand
arm around tired shoulders<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m thinking of a surgeon performing
open-heart
reaching in and commencing
massage
with a warm hand
gently, but vigorously a squeeze and a
squish
bringing colour back in
and blood to
flowing
feel once again that life affirming
beat
a centering<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love is our strength and our knowing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love is our how
and our
why<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love is what keeps us here
Love is what grounds us, what
humbles us
and yes,
even
what breaks us<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love is what tethers us
to each other
and
to ourselves<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and when we lean in to love
it lets us fall apart, again and again<\/p>\n\n\n\n
while gently patching
each
tiny
piece<\/p>\n\n\n\n
