Kindred

I had an unexpected, quite random perception of mutual love today. It stopped me dead in my tracks and left me overwhelmed with understanding and emotion. It left me feeling vulnerable in the most extreme degree yet invoked in me the concept of trust I rarely attend to. It made my eyes well up with tears and I could not keep a smile from my face: actions born in joy coinciding with sadness. I am so grateful. I do not fear its diminishment.
