Love and Balance

Today is his cousin’s wedding. We’re all getting ready together - his mom, his sister and I. And his baby niece will be there too watching, wailing, bonding… Four women, one family

There’s something about his mom that makes me want to hug her. Meeting her at the end of a crazy day, it just feels like …home. It is because of her caring and understanding nature that their family is so balanced and warm.  I guess the key is to know when to rush in with your love and when to withdraw and give others their breathing space. Like the waves of the sea. So the shore never feels encroached. And the balanced ebb and flow of love goes on endlessly.

This balance is important as I join with another human being in the journey of life. I’m grateful for the fine examples around me.
