Fall in love with love

“What did falling in love do for you? Can you ever really explain it? It filled empty spaces I never knew were empty. It cured a loneliness I never knew I had. It gave me joy. And freedom. I think that was the most amazing part. I suddenly felt both embraced and freed at the same time.”

What does connecting with the Sacred do?

It fills spaces we never knew exists

I cured a loneliness we never knew we had

There a crevices and cracks in our souls

Places where life has eroded and torn

Dark wounded places

Which impact our lives in ways we do not understand

From these places come the anger we cannot explain

The distrust that seems to have no basis

From these places echo the voices

Telling us we are not enough

We are never enough

But when we fall in Love with Love

We are embraced by love

And free to “catch the joy as it flies” (Blake)

We cannot explain it adequately

Nor even describe it

We can only experience it

And share it
