Only Love

Only love:

of course there’s no way I could have anticipated the changes this year brought, with profound loss, chaotic events, and the fear that this all produced. But I am grateful that I’ve had the tools to navigate these situations, namely forgiveness, finding myself steeped in this practice now, and able to turn more willingly and quickly towards the choice of peace. With every seeming loss there came a pivot, maybe not always immediately, but in an intuitive fashion, feeling my way through the currents and trusting that the waters would eventually calm. Forgiveness was what kept me afloat, practiced in the sense that yes, there is loss present, heartache even, yet ultimately, even at my deepest point of pain…

only love was ever present.

and this,

I never doubted.

I love you, Eric
