But, giving in to our fears, we widen the gap by creating conditions that must be filled before stepping toward another.
We know by now that giving in to fears is something that I'm very good at. Sometimes I worry that I'm a little bit neurotic, and at time I certainly need grounding and reminding that problems are not insurmountable.
As for anything else, giving in to those fears makes me like the little wild creature that's been so hurt and damaged by the things that have happened in the past… learning to trust again the outstretched hand. That's one of the main reasons I try not to give in to the fears, because all I want is to be held, supported and loved.
And I really am, I have to say, probably the luckiest woman alive. In my 'husband' is the grounding voice that'll pull me up and remind me just where reality is… and that every problem has a solution; the voice of love and the arms that need to hold and be held as much as I need the same; and the support – sometimes in creative and unexpected ways – that empower me to step over the gap, and start to find my way again. I love my guy very much!
All the promises we make
from the cradle to the grave,
when all I want is you.
