Creatures of the heart

Relationships are fascinating creatures.

The more of them I have, the more I am surprised by their sameness and their uniqueness.

Love is such a binding factor. It lengthens the boundaries, strengthens the ties, enhances and endures and engages every single one of my senses.

Through love the most difficult relationships become endearing even as they try my patience, or sense of right and wrong. Love doesn't end because times are tough.

But also through love the best relationships take on an ethereal glow that feels fairy tale-ish through good times and bad. The baby seemed meant to be mine, the friend who is me, the archetypes come to life.

We are exotic creatures and we need to be among others of our own kind even when we don't know that's what they are.
