Bring It Home To Me

"I know your heart can get all tangled up inside

But don't keep it to yourself...

When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
The weight of the world
Is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me"

 I have experienced the most amazing gestures of love in my life recently. I have had friends ask me hard questions because they want to help me grow. I have had friends say bold conclusive statements, so that I can find peace in the right now. I have had friends pour into me encouragement to seek the creative life I so desire. I have also had the opportunity to love. I have had the opportunity to love people that are like me, different then me, and those whose hearts are woven tightly in mine. 

I have a sense of emotional home in my life right now that I have sought for months. I have a place to bring all that I am and people who love me well to accept whatever place I happen to be. I suppose the greater joy is not in the relinquishing of burdens to those who love me well, it is in the ability to return with objectivity, compassion, and integrity. I still struggle with control, and I still struggle with accepting Love as easily as I give it. I am still learning. I am unfinished. I am enveloped by those who create a safe place for me, and who know what I need. 

For that, I am blessed beyond measure.
