That is so well penned, and makes a point so poignantly. I read it as love requiring us to dig deeper into ourselves, and by putting our trust in it, we're never quite sure whether we have "it" sufficiently in us, or not.

Thank you so much Josh for your thoughtful comments  always appreciated . .. so true, really .. we all should look within before looking outside ourselves ... and hopefully find it and then share it in a healthy way ..

Wonderful pen, JeJe. It's piercing.

Trusting Love takes great courage - but oh what beauty to be called. Gibran said it best:

For even as love crowns you so shall he
crucify you. Even as he is for your growth
so is he for your pruning.
    Even as he ascends to your height and
caresses your tenderest branches that quiver
in the sun,
    So shall he descend to your roots and
shake them in their clinging to the earth.
