heartbreak feels like dying. it is one of those wild truths we discover along the way. that to open to love, to really open - is to be broken. to come crashing into ourselves. it is a grand discovery of your own walls. a wailing invitation to tend to your wounds. a thrilling call of adventure to look fear eye to eye & risk/jump/love anyway.
it's terrifying. shattering. opening.
this is a book about the brightest love I have danced with. one that awakened a brightness in myself. it broke my heart over & over & over, finally shattering it to shards expanding the sky. there I found my own darkness. I felt my magic. & I discovered that I am the sun.
it's a book of love poems. through the waves of love. the glorious falling. the painful truth telling. & the awakening - oh the awakening.
true love I think, is meant to break us open. to leave us holy in the arms of grief & wonder. to love another is to love oneself, which is the bravest act of living.
so I offer you my gifts from this love. the bright lessons. the terrible truths. the wide open love. the lonely loss. & the way it transformed my soul.
keep opening your hearts to love.
