When two people love each other

It’s like the confluence of two streams..

and the two of you immediately begin making memories

wrapped in each other’s dreams.

You feel happy, safe and comfortable inside your blanket

just the two of you

but as you add family and friends you find how easily

your blanket wraps around them too.

And you discover life is even happier and more exciting too

as the blanket of dreams they brought with them 

wraps around you too.

And from this confluence of dreams you find

you’re happy with the direction your life is taking…

with the path your heart has chosen 

with the memories you’re making.

Memories once made…you forever want to keep

so your mind finds a quiet place…a peaceful room

and tucks each on safely off to sleep.

Until your rivers meet up again

and, as you’re sitting on the shore,

a word or sentence spoken or a smile

wakes up a memory you’ve shared before.

And you find there is no place you’d rather be

than seated by that stream…

sharing a memory you’ve made together

while wrapped in each other’s dreams.

Today I’m grateful for the love 

out of which I was conceived….

Grateful to be able to share that love with others

and grateful for any love I may receive

If you hate…

may whatever deity you believe in…

whether he or she dwells here on Earth

or in the heavens high above….

find a way to touch your mind

your soul

your heart

and turn that hate you’re feeling…

into love.

I’m finding it very difficult of late…

to keep love in my heart…when I’m surrounded by so much hate.

And therein lies the evil…the malevolence of hate….

It’s sole purpose is to trample love…as more hate it generates.

But I’m determined not to let that happen to me!

Determined that hate will never be my fate!

And I will continue to love in life…everything you haters hate.

I will do my best to love every person as each day begins…

no matter their sex, their gender, their religion…or the color of their skin.

I shall always love diversity…and the beautiful way our varied lives have intertwined.

I will love you and whatever letter or label you give yourself as long as you are kind.

I will love the Earth and all her creations…

as much as I love any woman, child or man….

and I pledge to treat you all with kindness and respect

and walk as gently and as softly around you as I can.

I don’t love our history…but I know we must study the mistakes we’ve made

who we were and where we’ve been….

If we don’t, as witnessed in this day and age,

we will make those same mistakes again.

You may call me names…turn your hate on me….

but your hate-speech will never make this country great…

and it will never stop me from loving all the many things you hate.

Besides…there is twist to your hate 

that I find i quite ironically clever

Because of all your hate 

there are so many people in this world

who need my love now….more than ever 

Today I’m grateful for love

and I make a vow

to bring love to those who are out of practice…

and even those who have forgotten how.

May we be blessed to love ourself…

and may that self-love like a bubble surround us…

because it’s easier once we love ourselves

to spread that love to everyone around us.

We know we’ve reached the purest love

for our friends and family…

When we choose love them for who they are…

not…for who we wish them to be.

Today I’m grateful for being part of a love

that flows along with ease…

That is heavy enough to keep me grounded

Yet light enough to float upon the breeze.

That radiates just the right amount of heat

To keep me safe and warm…

That is strong enough to weather

the most turbulent of storms.

Today I’m grateful for the two most important parts of the words ‘I Love You’ 

The ability to say it to someone…so they will know it…

and once said…for the ability to show it.
