Above all to love, to be needed. To belong, to have some meaning or value no matter how small. To be celebrated. Not to be disgraced, put down, made ugly or objectified. This is not suitable for the divine creation. It cannot stand. Because it simply isn’t true.
There is significance in every moment, every glance, magic in every touch if you can feel it. Enough that even in total darkness, with no hope on the horizon, all hell surrounding you.. some impossible light will shine forth, enveloping you in its radiance. A reminder of the eternal truth for those who need a lamppost on the arduous journey home.
The light is always there, but occasionally we must go through the dark to find new pastures, to expand our possibilities.
