The person you pray to God for is the person you pray with. That is the quiet miracle of it. Not just asking the universe to send you someone kind, someone safe, someone who feels like home, but finding yourself beside them, hands folded in the same silence, breathing the same hope into the same sky.

It is one thing to whisper a name into your loneliness and hope it reaches heaven. It is another to sit next to that name made flesh and feel your faith steady because they are there. Love becomes deeper than desire then. It becomes alignment. Two hearts bowing at the same time, not out of fear of losing each other, but out of gratitude that they were found.

To pray with someone is to trust them with your unseen parts. Your fears, your family, your future, the fragile dreams you do not speak loudly. It is intimacy without performance. Devotion without spectacle. It is saying I do not only want you in my arms, I want you in my becoming.

The person you pray to God for is the person you pray with. And when that happens, love stops feeling like a wish and starts feeling like something sacred you are building together, one quiet amen at a time.

A last peg and writing musing

A last peg and writing musing

There are days when I open the WordPress post and stare at the blank screen, wondering what to write. There are so many ideas germinating and getting lost as I start penning about them. Happily playing the waiting game. Writing shouldn’t be forced and it feels like alcohol playing havoc to the mind, spurting like the gin I am having right now. Spot on! I’m having a gin after a year plus today…
