Never before have I felt the love
of someone who not only wrapped
a blanket around me when I felt sick,
but described to me the colours
it ought to be; warm oranges,
deep greens, with tassles...
of course
Someone who meets me wherever
I am; lost in Largeness
or giggling at the patterns
your floorboards make
You open my eyes to see
Beauty in everything
and I notice how vast and new
this world is,
and I am
...I'd forgotten
But now I find
myself again
in you

The shortest poem I ever wrote was "Twice myself in another's eyes." This speaks it ever so gently and joyfully...and we want them to see forever.

This sits in a tender place and welcomes the sun onto eager countertops.

Being received with more appreciation than I believe you will ever imagine.

..."You open my eyes to see...beauty"...your words are more expressive than any I could place here, so I send them back to you with this only...it's wonderful to have one to remind you of how lovable you are... Peace always, Rhonda

For me, you have just perfectly described being truly alive.
Living life in the living 'largeness' of awareness and gratitude, only made possible by the generosity and beneficence of the One to whom all praise is due. The One it is true love to endeavour to serve. This is the best I can describe here, the largeness of your 'thanks' which you present.
Your 'Thank you' is of the greatest gift that could be given, with me.
As yet, I cannot find more words accept to say it is received with more appreciation than I believe you will imagine.
love
