Tremulous the first tendrils unfold ... the barren solitude breaking slowly ... like the dawn of time One single shoot of timid frailty nurtured by love, kindness, patience and understanding The warmth of acceptance ... inspiring the slow regeneration of growth ... the whispered encouragement .... barely audible to any but the most sensitive The touches of tiny butterfly wings .... the traces of gentle fingers smoothing the way forward ... luxuriating in the gentle stir of remembered bliss The subtle wash of feelings building solid blocks of need ... the first shaky step ... teetering into blossoming hope The heart chooses who to love, and how No matter how uncertain of the future I feel at the moment, I can still hear the voice of love Face aglow with the realization that the end is not always forever merely in transition Safe in trust ... carried by confidence ... soothed with that knowledge There are struggles and hurdles along the way Pain happens in life For some more than others and we hope we don't experience it and try to not bring it upon those we care about But when we feel pain, it is a sign ... an incandescent flare in our hearts telling us that we are alive Alive and free to feel love, joy, sorrow, desire, acceptance, companionship, sickness, fear and hope To protect ourselves from ever feeling these things is to not be alive We must put ourselves at risk if we are to feel these things, both the good and bad The chance for happiness requires risk ... the chance for love requires risk Life requires risk Transformation is possible at any time A person can transform ... a situation can transform Under the conditions of love, faith, and hope, transformation is quite possible Never lose hope |

Quitters never win, Winners never quit. Persistance and determination are alone omnipotent. Somehow I have always known you would come out better for having loved, battled, and in the end vanquished the demons that reside within us all.

You had me thinking about pole beans there for a while. Good to see you again. Hope the summer is treating you well.

It's good to finally see you writing like this. Starting to come out of the clouds and look for the sunshine. It's there all around you. You just needed to be ready to smile again.
