Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.

“Paradise lies at the feet of your mother.”
Last night I went out once again
To ply my ancient trade.
I’ve seldom heard a word of praise
For all the love I’ve made.
.. few have ever dared to care
How love can go astray.
Most accept their lover’s fate
When love just fades away.
I have to hit two hearts at once.
It’s timing, don’t you see.
And sometimes lovers close their heart.
To all, especially me.
I’m sorry for mistakes I’ve made.
I’d surely take them back.
If only I could give you all
The love in life you lack.
But if you’ll give me one more chance.
I’ll follow every lead.
And promise to keep at my work
To find the love you need.
And when I do, I’ll string my bow,
And line my arrow true.
And then the world will see once more
What Cupid still can do. – Cupid, Greenwolfe
What we’re reading today…
“It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being.”
“There is hardly any activity, any enterprise,
which is started out with such tremendous hopes and expectations,
and yet which fails so regularly, as love.”
– Erich Fromm
..love harder
“I need you…
to trust me”
(My Dad used to dance with me, just like this. I’d panic – yes, I was already a control freak at that age – and he’d say “relax, trust me.” O Dad, I miss you so very much.)
