2018, Love Letter 9

There are some people who – by their service – make a huge impact.

You, my dear, are one of those people.

The way you love.

The way you serve.

The way you remain consistent, never failing, always giving — it’s an act of creation, it’s passion, it’s…

Awe-inspiring.

You inspire (you create) awe within me.



I feel like sometimes, you just see the trees – the individuals in your path that need love and care – and your focus is tight on that moment-by-moment act of service.

I need you to know that there’s a whole forest – the individuals who see your commitment, who are witness to your love – who are in the path of your light-ripples, who have the opportunity to absorb the courage you present.

You present (offer) courage.

It is your gift…

…one that I am thankful – oh, so thankful – to be challenged by!

2018, Love Letter 8

There are so many things I want to tell you.

There’s a backlog of stories, thoughts, antidotes – questions – that I want to send your way. I feel like a pen-pal that’s behind on sending letters.

I have a treasure-trove of thanks to share with you for being you…the kind of person who pursues creation.

You inspire me. So often.

And I don’t take the time, the second, that I should to send acknowledgement your way.



Sure. We don’t always get it right.

But we keep trying, right?

Life. Living. Learning.

Growth.

Somehow, in one simple sentence, you’ve summed up everything I want to say to you: “I’m really glad I know you.”

BOOM.

My world rocks just a little bit from…

the kindness of it…

the power of it…

the generosity of it…

the evaluation of it…

And, of course, the unfairness of it that you said that words first.

I didn’t; I couldn’t; I was struggling to convey, to share, to communicate…

How in the world is communication a struggle for me?!

Let me just ask you that –



I appreciate you more than I can say…

(…and I know that I should try to say it more often.)

I am so thankful that our paths crossed and that you’re among the stars that shine light and inspiration on my path.

That’s how I see you, if I haven’t said it before, a star full of history, experience, wisdom – full of light – and full of presence, making “the now” count, taking charge of each moment to give light.



I know it’s not easy: it’s a constant conversion, a state of releasing energy…

It’s action.

You are action.
