I Love...

I love my life...

I love my job; I love that I get to perform every day, and work with amazingly talented, competent and lovely people! I love the adventure that I am on right now. I love young people (young in age and at heart!), and I love that my job not only has me performing for them but has me interacting with them and giving them memorable experiences. I love that I am constantly learning. I love that I am meeting new people. I love my new friends. And I seriously LOVE, adore, and cherish my "old" friends...

I love that I know that I am loved, even when I am far away. I am SO thankful for the incredible, deep, meaningful, and totally undeniably reliable relationships that I have built throughout the course of my lifetime...

I love You...

I cherish our history, your undying support for me, the way you lift me up at EXACTLY the moment that I feel myself slipping downward...

I love your imperfections. I love my imperfections. I love the human-ness of our relationship.

AND, I love the sh*t. I love all the hard, ugly, unpleasant things that we/I have weathered. I love the fights, the pain, the confusion... Because it helps me to remember how human and real we are, and I love the beauty of REAL life...

I love our memories, and how they keep me company when I feel alone. I love the loneliness that I sometimes feel, because it helps me to remember just how important your love is to me...

I love the accidents, the mistakes, the physical and emotional pain that they cause us, because without that I wouldn't know the true meaning of the joy and safety that I love so much.

I love the mystery, the not-knowing... I love the QUESTIONS THEMSELVES...

["... try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." - Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903, in "Letters to a Young Poet]

AND, I love the answers. I love the certainty that I have about certain things...

I love that the universe IS unfolding exactly as it should be...

*NAMASTE*

[Namaste: "I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells,
I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace;
When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One"]
