I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people:

that each protects the solitude of the other.
~rainer maria rilke

learning as we go

one day we wake up with an overwhelming sense of love in our heart, peace in our mind and contentment in our soul that lets us know everything is exactly as it is supposed to be. the worries are gone. the ego is at rest. the stories we once told ourselves are no longer holding us back. 

what took so long? 

there were mistakes to make, patterns to break, lessons to learn, heartache to endure. pain shows up at our door, as a gift, to awaken a part of us that has been sleeping. when we receive what has been presented to us, we find our spirit wrapped up inside, the very heart of who we are, waiting to be embraced.

life gets messy. we fall down. we get bruised. 

we get up. we stand tall. we walk with grace. we see clearly. we love more deeply.

nothing is left undone. nothing is left unspoken. nothing needs to happen. there is nothing left to prove. 

we are right where we need to be.
