There is a Love
Conceived yet not received, my parents could not love me. No less a gift, unopened, I waited for someone who might appreciate my essence and take me in. Led by grace, I was taken care of physically (and I am grateful) but the needs of my soul, for mirroring, reflection, affinity, enjoyment, went un- recognized. I was un-seen. I was never exalted. How I longed to be special and beautiful. Loved in devotion and not duty. Un-worthy of such love, I fell into sorrow and it swallowed me like quicksand and became my familiar.
There is a Love so deep, neither time nor distance can remove it. Even if memory should leave you, it will stay embedded in your body for eternity. Whatever arrives here now, whatever should come after, this Love will sustain you and lead you on. The Love which was lost in the beginning becomes the cornerstone of your soul. The house you built for your precious and priceless treasures, safe. Protected by Love, this house can not be shattered.
