I am learning to listen. I am learning to apologize. I am learning that the speed of wounded panic is faster than the speed of rationale and that the vast warmth of a loved one’s understanding makes space for that. I am learning the wisdom of wounds. I am learning the resonant field of shared joy. I am learning timeless presence. I am learning there’s no time. I am learning to ask only for that which I myself can take responsibility. I am learning armistice. I am awake. I am unbridled heart. I thank God for bringing me. I am learning the truth of love of the whole. I am learning love.

Beautiful. The “delicious agony” of learning love is a long, ongoing process, as I am coming to grasp, slow fellow that I am. I am (usually) grateful for that delicious agony, not always but when I’m paying attention. It helps keep life and love ever more interesting and rewarding.
