Morning thoughts 29/04

Currently grappling with moving forward/growing older in a number of areas in my life. I feel like I’m at a gate in my path, and opening it - going through it, will lead me elsewhere. To a home. And I need to have the courage to confront and to embrace what I might find there.

I was asking myself what I want in my relationship. What is commitment?

Friendship

Ourselves in our own names

Prioritising

Integration in each other’s worlds

Sharing clothes

Sharing closets

Sharing jokes

Togethernness

Quality time, quality mutual care

Caring about each other’s feelings

Tending to each other

Joy in our growth and wellbeing

Vision

A plan

Freedom Work

Do you hear the death Rattle of the chains That shackle?

The freedom in The words of  Love poured onto  The world that sprout? As blossoms  Wanted Blooming where they are planted Strewn Taking root in cracks and divisions Casting aspersions on  Constructed exclusions

Who will help us carry Freedom? Heavy  Laden with bloody tears

We gather ourselves Our bones We give ourselves over to the spirit of loving With our cores With our extremities With our back breaking Laughter filled Dexterities
