letting down all of the walls

this weekend i found complete happiness in the simpleness of life. there is something to be said about lettings yourself be connected to another human, to allow yourself to be cared for and loved. as i journeyed in allowing myself to be connected to another i found such healing. such warmth and kindness, such safety and rest. To realize, that life really isn't all that complicated, that people don't fit into stereotypes or that we have to be defined by pre-set notions rather just to open our eyes to see the beauty of another . i found myself wrapped completly in a place where i was forever changed and i relish in every single moment.
I am completly O.K. about all of it

goodbye granddaddy

today i buried my Grandfather. at his funeral, i gained more love and respect for him than all the years that i knew him . i realize that at times we all spend time with one another but rarely sit down to see w ho they are. I mourn for the man that i didnt know but rejoice in all that he left behind. his legacy is his family . i am grateful to carry that legacy and to learn about the man i never knew.
