thoughts on love....

these awful reminders
of how fleeting life really is.
when the cliche becomes real
and in a matter of seconds
your entire perspective changes.

we all know what it is important
in life.
we all know that we don’t live forever
and to make the most of everyday.

but how those words get so easily
pushed aside in the grind of it all.
i get caught up too-
shamefully so sometimes.

in ego.
in money.
in comparing.
in bitterness.

the easy road would be:
“well, what do they know?
they are just HAPPY because they
have it easy.”

do they?

because even the best of us wrestle
with the worst kind of demons,
mostly always in private.

and its always easy to be positive
when life is flowing your way.

i think the real warrior of happiness
steps up when things are crap.
makes a hard choice to believe in
love even though the world is full of hurt
and completely not fair.

these beautiful warriors of happiness
are the ones that lift us all up,
whether we are aware of it or not.
and we should thank them.

and really, i don’t think they are so different
from you or me,
i just think they have somehow learned
to love without understanding.

thank you mccabe…
oh to spend even a moments time
gazing at the universe with love
in my eyes
for you
would that ease you
would that please you
would that be enough
it sure would for me

A simple hug is all I can give you right now, so I will ((((((((((((You))))))))))))

you in this space in oh so many many moments are my beautiful warrior of truth and happiness. Thank you

oh, mccabe. hugs to you. love without understanding…god, let those be my words to live by…we are, most of us, not so much bold in the face of fear or heartbreak, but creepingly, insistently and, ultimately, heroically brave, in just putting one foot in front of the other, in front of the other, over and over, until, without any idea of how it happened, we find ourselves emerging into a new place that is one step closer to our true power, which is nothing more or less than the essence of pure love. we must just keep walking…

BIG love to you dear heart.

loving without understanding feels so incredibly freeing. i like that.

i think no one really gets the full story. i’ve had friends who’ve said to me but you’re so on top of it all or you guys never argue. yeah we do, but we just don’t air our laundry. i’m not sure if that’s even healthy, you know? but, it just is,and that too feels freeing for me. to just not concentrate on those things.

thank you for sharing xo
