An Eternal Embrace

I am finally where I want to be. Sitting here sipping a mint tea feels divine. There is a gentle breeze and I feel happy and relaxed after the turbulent year I have had. How life has had its many ebbs and flows but I am here now. I feel grateful; grateful to be here and grateful to God. A thought arises, why don’t more choose to accept who they truly are and life as is? Carried gently by the beloved; forever in the most beautiful of embraces. I wonder why so many resist a life of ease and want to fight the answer that presents itself in the mirror. Surely you can accept it is you that you seek? That you are the object of your adoration and that wherever you turn, you see the face of your beloved and this beloved that carries you, is you. That when the veils fall and reality is seen, it is seen that it is this. Simply this.

An eternal kiss.

An eternal embrace.

An eternal love.
