~~~~~ Imagine, how do we tell our own love story? Do we believe love exists in a state of grace? Fear it will be a stroll along life’s razor edge, A plunge into the deep, head first, eyes closed? Do we make our dive unsure if we can swim? Will love’s buoyancy help float us […]

Listening to What?

~~~~~ Can we find our way to the winding path, Which leads through the woods’ darkness? Hold hands, be brave, support each other; Frightening it may be, but nothing’s forever.

Learn Everything

Answer to an Unasked Question
