Love Letter 7

Dearest One,

I could not love all the others if I did not first love you. That’s the thing about the love that binds us and launches us into the world – it expands us and opens our eyes to all the good and true things we will do someday. At the moment when I despair you breathe in the pain and breathe out a love that inspires me to dream, to live larger than I think I can. God I love you so much it blows me open – for years it’s been blowing me open. Because I know you and love you, I know what we’re reaching towards – a radiant light that illumines the dark places, a warm pool that soothes a life lived in the real world, both offerings calling forth new love, the kind of love that drives this evolving universe forward. It’s a love that evolves within us too. Do you know what that means? It means this will get better and better! Sweetheart, your love, the love that wells up in your soul and overflows into my heart, the love I shower on you in each present moment, makes me sure that one day the moon will rise and throw a lane of gold to us across the blackness and the heaving of the tumbling waters. How could it be otherwise? We need only sit in each other’s arms and breathe to know it’s true. We should do that more often . . . for we live in a world of outrageous pain and our only response to that is the outrageous love we are blessed to share.

I love you,

Sam
