Hey MV
The end part really spoke to me. I was texting back and forth with my girl and she said 'Mama, that sounds so patronising'. I had to step back and look through her eyes at my text that was not meant that way at all.
I apologized because I would never ever want to hurt her by my words.
I am rereading this and hoping to absorb it into every cell of me.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Somewhere, I have it so wrong that I need to relearn how to communicate more lovingly

The wane of the faithful Moon
forever changing,
in the distant dark sky,
is tomorrow's promise
that we can grow and emanate light,
it takes time.

It takes the sun to rise and fall
and the Earth to bathe in shadows,
in warmth too.

It takes a mirror image,
catching stars
breathing and eating time
to spin eternity
for you and I.
