Relationships

"Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals that can go it alone."

-Margaret Wheatley



"Nothing exists in isolation," and yet so many of us push so hard to be isolated.  I begin this blog with a heavy heart.  Love denied is never an easy thing.  When you give your all to someone and they take it for granted... it can be more exhausting than anything on this planet.  What makes it harder is the agonizing gravitational pull to move on when all you want to do is to do absolutely nothing.  Freeze time.  Stop everything around you.  Stillness.  Yet we, the few, the path-makers, we move onward.  Since we are all connected, I feel no need to pretend my life is private.  My life is an open book, and much of it you can relate to in some way or another because we all experience the same things.  I am no expert and life, love, or relationship.  I speak a truth, not the truth.  The truth I speak is of a life lived through these eyes, journeys forged with these feet, and love unfulfilled inside this vessel.  My words have no age, religion, race, political or gender... they are words.  Thank you for taking the time to read them.
