to love

I believe that at times the only solution is to reach after God and realize that all we have that is worth giving is love and the only way to succeed is to love, to love God, people, life with everything that we have inside of us. is that cheesy? I kind of think it sounds like it is, but I like it anyway. 

it's hard to do.  to love another as much as you love yourself.
I think I love myself a lot or sometimes
maybe not at all
because if the way I love others reflects the way I love myself
I suck at this.

to embrace
a person
fully
is a beautiful thing: all of them
to throw the yuck, your yuck, their potential yuck, the clashing that is happening without explanation,
to put it under a rug and chase after them and allow them into your space
the seat next to you, the room, your shoulder
it's a beautiful thing

and I don't believe its about allowing the person, but perhaps
inviting them in

take off your shoes and stay awhile. use everything I have as your own. 

I love you, Howard.
