“How we heal the world'
Sometimes I sit in silence and watch the world, how it burns so slowly. The fumes almost stifling, but then I think of love. Of hearts that continue to show mercy. Of a gentle nod from a stranger, acknowledging and existence. Without knowing, it is a truth that love binds us. The compassion of the world has never been lost. Love is our salvation, the very basis upon which we exist. First as thought then manifested in flesh. How love fills the spaces between grief and breath. I do not know how to heal the world but I know that love is how we start.”

“Hidden Joys
Is it not surprising how joy comes? As effortless as leaves drinking dew. Patiently waiting for us to acknowledge her. Much of life is filled with moments of joy we often ignore. Perhaps adorned in the hearts of those we love. Hiding in ' the tenderness of things'. Look at this, how our hearts are most alive in quiet moments. Isn't that plain joy? It only seeks to be seen in the purity of love.”

“And i often thought about life with great discernment, that I aught not run headlong into love. I contemplated how we are born with closed hands and an open heart. Yearning for the sweet touch of compassion, and the mystery and depth of what we often call love'

“Love after love
Often what comes back to us is love.
And again, it rests with us like grief does
with intention, intimacy and holy silence.
And we think it is enough.
After all,
It is here again
It must be right
this time around.”

“The scars on your heart are your lessons, that love will survive despite heartbreaks. they are reminders that love is not flawless as they have advertised. They are symbols that just like autumn well all need renewing and healing.”

“The Path of love
I will enter into this day with
the same intention as the light
of the sun.I will linger along the crevices of love.
I will carry hope as a lonesome
traveller, waiting to share it
with a few courageous hearts.
For, within these passing moments
we do not have long.
So, I will always remember
that this soft light, this
inexhaustible love, is not
mine to keep.”
