Kind and compassionate and gentle. On these difficult days that I face you are always there to catch me, so softly. I try to hold myself above water and work my nerves so much I forget that my feet can touch the bottom. You remind me. You are the solid ground that I land on. Supportive and comforting. I love you so much. I cannot let go of the notion that I will always inevitably be able to find my way on my own, but with you it is a distant, irrelevant facet. You, my shepherd. My composure. My constant reminder. My light, my way. I am lost without you. Found at your side, forever basking in your love and reverberating it back to you. It's silly, because the scale of difficult days has been so dramatically adjusted to fit this paradisiacal life with you.. the torments of life are now so unphasing in almost every regard that the consideration of this brief time to be difficult is laughable compared to the scope of crises I used to entertain.. You are clarity and tranquility. You provide more for me, in more ways, than I ever could have fathomed and still can hardly believe. But of course. You are pure love. You exalt me. You change me, always for the best. Unobtrusively and without force. Your gracious acceptance is abundant. In the midst of unnecessary self inflicted mental anguish, you are my respite. In the midst of any adversity, you will always be my respite.
