Love Dissolving Into Love…

December 6, 2020

Continued from War in Heaven

Love dissolving

Into love…

She poisoned you.

You poisoned me.

I let the poison fester

Together; we sucked and spit every last drop out–

Until there was nothing left but

Love dissolving into love…

I don’t disagree: my mother ruined me for any future possibility of entering into a healthy wholesome marriage with the hopes of building a happy loving family. I was no gift. My only hope was second best. Seek one perfectly flawed broken human like me. Like you. And then keep praying…

…and battling. The protective armor we layered upon layer covering our gentleness in what looked like self-confidence eventually showed its true weakness and failed. And I for one feel lighter, stronger, and more resilient than ever before. The battle is over. Neither side won.

There is nothing; only

Love dissolving into love…

Love dissolving…

Love…

To be continued.

Happy Memories Of You Do I Keep

November 9, 2020

Continued from A Rustic Split Rail Fence

“Let go the past…”

And anyway,

What does it matter she didn’t like your picture?

Those were happy memories to you.

Keep them.

Remembering:

The smile of innocence may fade—as does the rose—however,

The lingering memories are still just as sweet

To the heart…and

The heart remembers (with great joy!) the happy smile of the child and

Delights in retelling the old story!

Today begins a new chapter.

What new story will you tell your heart today?

What new happy memories will you make for your heart to one day remind you of

This day–

Standing at the kitchen sink

Sun shining on the window sill

Cleaning carrots for dinner–

Smiling…

With love from the cottage in the woods,

NZain 💓

Thank you for reading and sharing this moment together.
