The Return of Love



"So give all the love you have.
Do not hold any in reserve.
What is given is not lost; it shall return."
Kamand Kojouri

I had been done in. I had dissolved, lost footing and lost all sense of self.  Isolation from COVID had taken its toll, leaving me disconnected and distanced.  Once the masks were removed, and travel approved, I was on my way back to my sisterhood, to find reflections of my self.

One on one, I visited with those who had witnessed both my strengths and weaknesses.  I allowed myself to linger within each heart filled hug.  Gradually, I reclaimed bits and pieces of my self, building strengths to face all of my tomorrows.

While driving home, I was able to sort through all of the emotional reminders, words of inspiration, and examples of how my kindred spirits were moving forward with kindness and grace.  I am deeply thankful to my sisters who have carried light into my darkness and helped me rekindle my creative desires.  I am filled with love and encouragement,  moving me forever forward.
