fingertips

funny.
i'm workin' hard over here...and some of that work
includes some sappy stuff. sendin' some love to some
different people. how amazing that's part of the job?!

i was just writing a card to a woman who lost her son.
i've never met her....and i'm tryin' to say something
to touch her hand.

i have this goofy visual i do.
sometimes when i want to connect, i picture touching
my hands to that person. my palms. because it's with
the palms of my hands i can feel them.
when i don't know them, i figure the very best i can
do is touch my fingertips to them. and that's really good
too cause i can feel them ever so gently.

and so when i try to connect, always in my head somewhere
is a fingerip or hand visual. a feeling and a picture.

i went to sign this card and started to write 'love' and
then hesitated for a split second. then wrote it with
conviction. it is with love that i send it.

and i smiled.
i'm getting stronger in love.
in feeling it, in letting it in, in offering it freely.

sometimes i get so lost in my journey that i don't realize
there's changes happening. i always see the self doubt
and the things i kick myself for. i rarely see the progress.
today, i'm seein' some progress. and it's in love...if
i could have progress anywhere, that's where i'd pick.

feelin' ever so grateful.....
