March 14, 2012 - on love?

Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep, feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.

I had a friend who once told me "You fall in love too easily!" when I wrote about a trip to Alaska and I do at least in terms of the world at large, places and memories... people though -that's another story, I think I've only ever truly loved one other in a romantic sense... I long for that feeling again though, I'm open and hopeful... I know it'll come in time.
