lovely mess

today i was reminded that love will always find me. today while i was not put together and did not have all the answers (i like having all the answers!) love showed up and sat next to me on a park bench.

today when my heart ached because i could not take away my little girl's sadness, love stood next to me as my girl told me that she was indeed sad this morning but now, as she held my hand, she was right as rain.

today while i failed to remember, as i often do, to have compassion for myself, love told me in a  beautifully loud status update that i was inspiration as a friend sat on a NYC bus where my words found her.

love sought me out today and sent reminders that, she resides, in each of the messy moments. i am learning to celebrate my messes. within them is where gods dwell. patiently waiting. not to pick me up or repair what i deem damaged. but rather to simply be there with me; with us in the midst of our troubles. there they are. so we may look at them, witness them and recall our own divinity.
