“When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?” ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Dear Anita,

I read a lot yesterday, I felt – glimmers – more than usual.  Yes, indeed, the hormonal “feeling” is of benefit, and yes, I’ll take it.

This quote above – it is everything. Absolutely everything.

How can I love if I am not there? I have not been there.  I was with my mother, when in her womb, when outside her womb, when living in her home, when living outside her home, when single, when married. I was with HER. So how, oh how can I love.

But NOW I am working on being here, just here, with me, and with my husband.
