People in my life (4)

-with respect for, or apology to, four people.

I am a unique and priceless person.
You are also a unique and priceless person.

You asked me to share part of your life.
You arranged it to share part of mine.
You let me close when you never thought you would.
You let me close when I never thought I could.

You wrote me a song,
you read all my stories,
you responded to my words in posts,
and you helped me see things in a new way.

You have too many commitments -
you have a lot of differing interests -
you feel so deeply sometimes it gets in the way -
you wonder quietly if what you feel is even enough.

You have blind spots, dark closets, blank areas, and empty spaces.
As do I. Sometimes I may lose sight, lose track, lose faith -
even lose myself.

I am warrior, empath, dramatist, logician, strategist, and critic.
I sleep tame by the fireside. I run wild in the dark. I am alive.

Together we may share visions,
open doors over time,
reconquer lost territory,
and create new worlds.

In the midst of the mundane, always remember the numinous.

I have a rich collection of friends who value my qualities.

I forgive myself for hurting myself and others.

I face all problems with courage and creativity.

Growth and change in my intimate relationships
is always directed toward good.
