magic




A quote/letter that speaks my words for me.


"Sometimes I feel like there's a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. The moon tonight, there's a circle around it. Sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting. But still sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing... I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don't know. Maybe I had my happiness. I don't want to believe it but, there is no man. Only that moon. " -from the movie Practical Magic.

Shelter

This is how you make me feel.

Protected.
Nourished.
Covered.
Surrounded.
Safe.
Defended.
Held.

At a time in my life
when pain and heartache consumed me
I sought shelter in your friendship
I indulged in your presence
and I continue to crave your company

As time does what it does best
and allows my heart to heal
I remain in this space you have created for me
by your side
and in your life
that nourishes me
teaches me
and means the world to me.

I am forever grateful
for you, my shelter, my Pete.
