Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. Gandhi
There is a field out beyond right and wrong. I will meet you there.

Reclaiming Self/ Spring Cleaning

As I sit alone in my room full of sunshine,
I love the world as myself.
I love this love- it is new
A choice to love myself for all that I am:
shy, honest, timid, deep, loud, trusting, sensitive, oblivious, daring, trusting, serious, slow...
I choose me. Other's perceptions matter a fraction to what I can carry in love and compassion, knowledge and quest.
It is good to be alone and I breathe a deep sigh of relief to feel this way again.

You are never truly alone when you are with yourself. It's another facet of friendship and can open one's life in unimaginable ways. And, keep writing! xxxooo
