I Was Wrong.

Remember, everything always changes.

Hm, some say that. I've said that before too. 

But I was wrong.

See, there is one thing that never changes for me. The feeling in my heart that most people call "love."

Love rests within me...sometimes deeply, sometimes at the surface...but when this peaceful light enters me fully, I am suddenly awake and alive, and I see the world in a spiritual way. People, nature, my perception -- these things alter the course and perhaps, my perception of love changes, but like a shadow, love is always following me, waiting for me to reach out again whenever I so choose. And maybe sometimes, I'm angry or lost or confused, but the feelings always circle back, and when life alters my course, after I barrel straight through the emotions, love is there, striking me solid, new, and whole, seemingly taking human form, smiling at my return. Pain, grief, loss, financial hardship, accidents, tunnels of fear, confusion, misery, feeling trapped -- what seems like a mess is not a mess at all. The purpose is this:  to bring love back to my attention. 

Call it what you will but that, friends, is beautiful. Love is divine, unexplainable and unique. Today, I have the choice to dive into that which is a mystery.

I was wrong. Not everything changes. Love is always there. Love is a silent warrior.

I was wrong. And the awareness of that is beautiful too.
