Love

I stand in Love.  For Paris today as the world struggles to understand.  For peace, with the knowing that peace is the only way.  For the tortured spirits of those who believe otherwise.

I stand in Love.  For the teachers that have guided me to where I am today; those with 2 legs, and those with 4.  For the lessons of the heart that have hurt so much over the years and have expanded me into who I am today.  For the strength and resiliance given me at birth, that have stood the test of time and are such a part of what I am today.

I stand in Love. For the wan beauty that is November in Vermont- with it's grays, greens, golds.  For the beings that co-habitate life with me with such ease. For the earth, the sun, the water, which nourish me daily.  For song, wind,  and rustling leaves, that serenade my ears and heart as I walk.

All of this spirals through me today- sorrow, confusion, gratitude, awe, and yes- love.

I stand in Love.    I wouldn't have it any other way.
