In my inbox, from my husband was the following e.e. cummings poem:
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
You see, my husband reminds me with poems like these, that our love for each other is never finished. There's always another chapter to be written, and if I stop the writing, I stop (although momentarily) the flow of love between us.
I have so much going on in my day with clients, my kids, my own exercise, etc..
These poems remind me to be mindful and take the time to love. When I look back on my life and all the chapters we wrote together, I know and trust that my husband and I will feel thankful for the time we fostered together. And I know that our kids will be all the better for it!
With a mindful heart,
Lisa
