journal entry last night:
 
random thought scampered across my mind tonight, and thinking back on it, i can’t help but smile & let the simple joy of it warm me — from my heart & spirit, out.
 
love wins.
 
how simple.  how direct.  how easy.  yet somehow we make love messy & confusing.  not to mention daunting.  i’m not talking about love-y love; i’m talking about every day, regular family, friends, enemies, co-workers, the-person-in-the-car-next-to-you kind…
 
if only we could all truly love each other.  agape love.  good old “you’re just a person, too” love that allows imperfection & fears & do-overs without condition.  not the “walk all over me like a doormat” kind, but the love that grows & stretches as you wrestle with life together & walk in the rain & dare to take a step just beyond where the sidewalk ends.
 
idyllic & dreamy, right?  i know.  so until we all link pinkies & declare a unanimous truce, i’ll keep fumbling to get there cuz i know that i know that love wins.
