Love’s Sphere of Influence!

In love’s benevolence, resides its sphere, influencing hearts and minds. The more the soul seeks, of its essence, the heart perceives. Love not veiled in a facade, reciprocates in kind. The extent of its influence, the extent of the heart’s willingness. The degree of its power, measured only by its sway. Influence doesn’t just help guide, but helps navigate changing tide. Love truly influential, first affects a change of heart, then impact a change of mind. Real love, doesn’t need a glaring persona, to be identifiably true. Love’s infinity, greater than the Milky Way, the breadth beyond what encompasses the sphere, what deeply impacts our day to day. Deep love, opens the heart up to realm of possibilities, what providence has destined, what influences the soul, and heart as a whole. Forever, the space between, heart and soul. Time doesn’t wait, but infinity does, in the context of love. For, love is infinite, endless with its exploration. Infinity and beyond, a story the mind toys with, though light-years away. In between, heaven and infinity; the soul soars, the spirit knows. Influential living, greater than how the heart feels, but the depth of life being. Love’s influence, the benevolent sphere of its existence!

Oxygen!

Air, in its presence we live, with its breadth we exhale. The power of its might, the synergy of its existence. When, does the soul truly begin to breathe? Is it the moment, life gives of its breath, or the moment love’s oxygen, finds its way to your heart, leaving you breathless? Desperation to find, never a soul desperate to know; how love, becomes the air you breathe. Love within the air, though seemingly colorless to the senses, a captivating scent to the soul, stimulating the heart’s intellect. Fear free, a heart embracing the hues of love’s carefree allure.

A to Z!

Awesome, awe by any other definition, could never take from its meaning. Beautiful, how beautiful the heart, worn on one’s sleeve. Captivating, how alluring deep love becomes, captivating one’s heart and soul. Delightful, love’s truest appeal, how delightfully it clothes the soul. Essence, the essence within love’s innermost beauty, the breadth revealed within. Favor, love bestows its favor, regardless of one’s need. Graceful, poised with so much confidence. Graceful hearts don’t fear falling, for it’s a moment to rise, to beat the odds. Honor, how wonderful to honor, give of love’s inalienable benevolence. Invitation, love in of itself is an invitation. To taste, touch, smell, hear, and see, to wonders of love’s deepest meaning. Joy, how joyous to know, love’s gentle tug on the heartstrings. Won’t break the heart, but strums the soul with its pure joy. Kindness, random acts of kindness, are never actions erratic in its pursuit, but intentional with its accomplishments. Like-minded, expressions of love’s heartfelt similarity, indicative of like minded. That won’t bend to the minds perception, but swayed by love’s endearing perspective. Moments, in life moments become this, in love moments are bliss. But don’t allow yourself to miss, how these moments shape the heart. Nevertheless, though in life we stumble, or fall; nevertheless, rise, shine.

Openly, love gives openly of itself, offering the best of its divine excellence. Powerful, the resilience of one’s spirit, a powerful display of the heart’s wondrous nature. Quintessential, to let the beauty within our humanity, radiate the heart’s intrinsic light. Reciprocally, the heart’s journey to find common ground, love reciprocated on a two way street. Substantive, knowing life’s meaning, found within the substance of living with purpose. Transformative, transparent in heart, a soul transformed by love’s endearing appeal. Undistracted, devotion is not a concept, but the essence within love’s exceptionalism. Vulnerability, in of itself obscured in its meaning, when not empowered by love’s totality. Worth, never needs to prove its source, when you know its validation emanates from within. X-factor, should never play a role in determining love’s true measure. If it’s not from the heart, it’s therefore a meaningless expression. Your, love is an extension of your character, its truth unadulterated. Zenith, what will only begin to describe, love’s Amazing embodiment!

The Epiphany; We’re Not Together!

I’m the kind of person, that doesn’t like being late, going anywhere. Even to this day, you can set your watch, to my internal clock. I could give the time of my arrival to the minute, even hours in advance. If, I said I would be arriving at 4:23 pm, and someone said, see you by 4:30. I said no, see at 4:23pm. My daughter and friends, even made a game of it, and laughed every time I showed up, at the exact time I said. Yeah, punctuality and I, were best of friends, not noting the message it sent. How it left another’s heart, wondering where do I stand, if not hand in hand? The Epiphany, not yet revealed to my heart. You see, my wife was time conscious, but did not hold it in high esteem, like I did. Whenever, my wife and I had somewhere to be Together. Time would whisper in my ear, let’s go. My words conveying it to her, she saying out loud, don’t rush my heart. So, my heart paced, time cased my mind. The Epiphany, what a moment in the future, would enlighten!

So, time sent us on our way, the mood still, time whispering, cutting it close. We get to the parking, but all the close spots taken. Knowing, we can still be on time, maybe even get a good seat, if we walked fast. So, I walk faster, hoping she will keep up? Only to hear, wait; “We’re Not Together.” And even though, I heard it time and time again, the Epiphany, eluded the years, outpaced my heart. Leaving love wondering, how could it ever be incidental, if the breadth reveals its totality? You see, synchronization of hearts occurs, when togetherness takes hold, of time and space. Said that, to say this. Years later, the Epiphany, was made clear, you’re leaving me; “We’re Not Together,” When, time knows its place, love therefore in its totality, never becomes; Counterintuitive!

We Are!

Stronger, we are, stronger than we truly know. Fearless, we are, braver than we believe we can be. Powerful, we are, powerful when we don’t let fear steal our destiny. Overcomer, we are, fearless when we resist the urge to surrender our power. Fierce, we are, to let our heart roar like a lion, our passion rise from the ashes like an eagle. Mightier, we are, mightier than what tries to conquer our resolve. Resilient, we are, one’s resilience is not measurable, only measured by the determination in one’s heart. Vulnerable, we are, vulnerable when we allow negativity to stifle growth. We are, what we allow to shape our heart, its created purpose!

Forever Will Be!

Like a beautiful flower, blossoming so tenderly. Love’s sweet fragrance, an incense with a distinct aroma. True love, has that thing, that deepens with time. Falling in love, not knowing why, becomes just a feeling, that; “Je Ne Sais Quoi.” But, when you know, that it was destined, it becomes deeper than just a feeling; but love’s profound destiny. Real love, will never make your heart and soul question why; do I, can I, should I, love you always? If the reason is pondered, how then, can a heart ever embrace its wonder, love’s forevermore? Its gentle presence, sways your soul, moves within every beat of your heart. Its rhythm, more than the mind could fathom, words could ever articulate. Love is, not just a head laid on your shoulder, but the heart of love, resting gently on your soul… forever!

I’ve been asked many times; “what’s my secret, to a lasting marriage” The answer’s always the same, “LOVE THE ONE YOU’RE WITH!” Within the lens of a flawed perspective, love will never be perfect. It’s not about finding the right person, “but YOU becoming, what love needs you to be. The moral to love’s forever, never question its validity. Instead, let your heart and soul seek to know, the breadth of its everlasting truth, found within the strength of love’s existence!

May 28th, my wife and I, will celebrate our thirty sixth year anniversary. Last May, my wife spent eight weeks in the hospital, after suffering a stroke, which she’s still recovering from. Not wanting to let the moment pass, I brought some flowers, dinner, and we watched a movie on my tablet. You can’t always control, the circumstances life brings, but the secret lies in, making the best of the moments you have!
