“The thing that is changing...
Is it my surroundings, or myself?”
“I wanted
to write you a love poem
But my heart
feels out of tune
So I coax my breath
into the darkness
of my rib cage
And invite it to fan open
Maybe I would say
something like,
"One day,
I would like to
fall in love with you,"
And here I pause
while the tears
that have been threatening
to rain down all day
swell high in my chest,
blurring my vision
"One day,
I would like to
fall in love with you,"
I will start writing again, & continue,
"wherever you are,
whoever you are,
but in this moment,
I will fall in love with me."
My brow furls
ever so slightly,
because that is not
what I expected to say
I pause again
& allow the container to soften,
for the edges to get blurry
And the tears,
one by one spill over
And all the holding
of the day crumples away
And I am me again
& you are you again,
too”
“We are all meant to be a little broken, it's just about finding someone who will take the time to mend you. Someone who loves you enough to want to find the pieces that may have fallen from you and glue you back together. This is what love is, to restore someone when they have been broken and chipped, and all the while, feeling content whilst mending them...”

“A time is coming when the whole round world will know that God reigns and that God is Love, when hell and heaven, life and death, sin and salvation, will be read and understood aright at last.”

“His words back then
still press down my throat
with happiness and sorrow.”

“And then there is this jewel with its many facets of wisdom. It’s not difficult to imagine the breadth and depth of this sentiment – at least where astuteness and faith are an inseparable dynamic duo running rampant: “…while God does listen, knowing what He knows about us, and how well we take disappointment, often He will find a way to save us all the heartache and trouble we unwittingly plead and beseech and continually pester him for; ever a loving, wise Father, He will just simply answer, “no,” by default; by not answering, “yes.”
