hello dear one

Dear one,











Yes, you.













Really, you. I see you.













I have never not seen you. My eyes have never left your face. My heart has always poured over with love for you.







Here, please, let me take your hand as we sit here together. I love being with you.










Look at me, dear one.












Hi.



I'm so happy to see you.















Yes, I see the hurt in your eyes. I see the fear. I see that you're afraid you've done something terribly wrong, you're afraid this time together will be for discipline, for reprimand, for shame.






But no, it's not.



I do not condemn you.




I rejoice over you.
















Here, please, let me hold your precious face and turn you again to look at me and see my smile, my love for you.





Let me wipe away your tears. There, yes.







I love you, dear one.






What do you want to say?
















What else?


























Thank you for going deeper with me, for your honesty with me.






Everything you are feeling is okay. We can talk about it all.






What holds you back?





































Believe me, dear one. Trust me. I love you far more than you think I do.








All this pain, this suffering, this darkness, I hate it too. This is never what I wanted for you.









But it will be done before you know it. Joy will be forever, peace will be forever, love will be forever.





We will be together forever, you and me.





I know today is hard. Tomorrow will be hard.





What do you want me to do for you?

























I will be with you. Always. Through all of it.






I am in you. I am living, breathing, empowering you. Breathe in and remember I am there.






I am here.




I am right here.



Inside, deep down.



Deeper still.





Keep coming!


Yes!


















I love being with you.








We can stay right here as long as you like, dear one.










We can talk if you want, or we can just be silent.


















We can just be together. That is what I love most.
