to my love
in my mind, i never thought that i would ever come to this place
where the love i feel inspired by your presence
would free me, would heal me, would complete me.
in my heart, however, i always knew that i would one day be here.
you have helped me understand that it is not you,
but the aspect of myself that is you, that i wish to honor.
in this way,i love myself in your image.
the purity of spirit that you embody has made me transparent.
i can no longer formulate an image of myself.
there is nowhere to hide
as there is no one to stand behind.
your transparent presence, in turn, gives me nothing to hold
and nowhere to hide behind you.
you have given me the gift of my own emptiness
and in so doing, have shown me possibility.
this place of possibility is where i now begin in each moment.
i have surrendered,
not to you, but to me.
i have surrendered to the voice in my heart
and a calling from my spirit.
