The Call To Love

Love is something that I am learning to reverence with humility when faced with my fears. I am recognizing that standing in love is not the problem; instead its remaining still when the foundation can be easily swallowed by my ego or trampled by my pride. Some days I marvel at how far we’ve come trapped beneath all of these unmet needs + endless triggers. It’s like trying to find safety in the midst of a hurricane. I admit I have no idea how your patience holds an appetite once I’ve swallowed it whole. I acknowledge that I am afraid of the constant shifting. I wonder how things will unfold as we evolve + will our intention remain the same; pure + devoted.

We often look at one another trying to decipher the depth of each other’s pain hoping we have just enough faith just a mere fraction of hope to heal it. We understand that relationships are complicated when coupled with purpose, partnerships + parenting. It can easily turn into a grease fire leaving us in ashes under years of debris that we didn’t know was still flammable. I’m extremely mindful of our proximity at all times never wanting to get too far for fear of becoming long distant in the same house. I cherish our relationship + I am grateful for our growth because I know that what we are building is worth everything we’ve experienced to get here.

This picture is a reflection of me cultivating peace from all the wreckage. As we work hard to build a sustainable union we are constantly reminded that love is easier to digest than hate, relationships survive when they have a community to hold them up + atonement is the key to making any relationship work. I’m learning that God reveals things as you need them + not a moment sooner.
