i was encouraged tonight, and blessed...

you know the experiences that make you confident of love; the conversations when you feel most alive...when you know the presence of love--the greatest reality and the only thing real...is all around you and moving you.

pain can be present as it was tonight...but true pain can be purifying, it can be a blessing...a gloriful moment of feeling and growth where joy finds presence...

experiences like these...conversations like these...they are not formed by my doing, i have little power in creating these eternity filled moments...the glue, foundation, and power behind life creates these moments...establishing love.

i am greatful for love
