Back in the Saddle

I'm back!  After a long hiatus, I have decided to try this again.  It worked.  Onward and upward as the saying goes!

Moments of Perfection

 As the sun is deciding whether or not to rise, the fog clings to the ground in the pasture across my street as a reminder that Halloween approaches. The aroma of coffee permeates the air as my fingers soak up the warmth of the first cup. That first taste is bliss and as I sigh in contentment, the dog lays his head gently in my lap and gazes at me with adoring brown eyes. This moment in time is perfect.

Ponderings

 I enjoy playing video games a little bit.  I'm not a die-hard, but there are a few of the ones that are story-rich, single-player, role-playing fantasy games that I like. I like the people simulator one, too. Any of us that play that one often wonder if we aren't a video game for some omnipotent seeming being that pauses us and deletes stuff and *that* is why we go into rooms and forget why we were there. I started a legacy family today and I set the lifespan setting to long because a legacy challenge is when you play through 10 generations.

That's the love we all want. Most people are unfamiliar with the concept and honestly, don't believe it exists.  I get that. I am a mother, though, and I dare you to name one thing that your child could to do make you not love them.  To take all that love back and not love them.  I'll wait while you think about it. You can't.  I certainly can't. Now...apply that to people you know.  Just because they aren't here or you have a falling out or whatever happens...does that cancel the love? Failed marriages...does that cancel the love?  If it does, then the love was never there, to begin with. To me, unconditional love means loving someone for who exactly they are, in all their glory....and in all the ways they feel worthless or immaterial. It's about reminding them of what makes their soul beautiful when they forget.  It's easy to love someone at their best, but to remind them of their worth when they are feeling worthless...that is love.
