It is easy to feel the Love on a day like today. The rain is cleansing the earth of yesterdays stressors (if any)...and they are fleeting anyway. The sound of the pattering rainfall ripens my awareness that nature is always around me and filling me from within. The children are happily playing their games as I contemplate my happiness and my joy. Easily altered, these delicate young ones run away and then return. They seek me out for food and comfort. They look for me and call my name. "I am here", I tell them. "I will always be here for you". My assurance is taken with full confidence. They trust me. They ADORE me and I them.
Filling every corner of my home and my house are photos and special items to remind me of my favorite people, places and things. Each treasure is there for my enjoyment perpetually. Each one seeks to please me. They ADORE me and I am treaured by them because they have stayed in my life. My day is like the Ebb and Flow of the mightly Atlantic Ocean- people leave and then return all day long. I am so loved that they cannot stay away from me for long, but earnestly return to me. I am a magnet for their affections and they need my support.
Annika leaves for School on the bus with Nicolas. They return bringing along Haylee and David with them. Sometimes other children from the neighborhood also come to inquire, "may I play?". I love them all and hate to turn them away. Next are the Moms and Dads who come to retrieve their little packages. I have kept them for too long...but I return them with a little more Love in their hearts, more words on their tongue of good things to share....and then Sweety and then Didi and Daly and then Danielle. All come and all leave but they return faithfully and they are mine.
Could there be a happier way to live? I do not know of one. To have a family, and to have friends as I have- there is the joy and happiness everyone craves.
