to Christina and C.K. for their inspirational
post Let Go, Jump In, Love Wide Open ty.
who could know then 
Reblogged this on 20 Lines A Day.
That’s lovely. It reminds me of the quote that says if you truly love someone, you will let them go and, if they don’t return, they weren’t meant for you (something along those lines). True love will always return. I agree that without trust, there can be very little love.
hi Lee, ty. and yes, it’s both Trust and Letting Go, seemingly
a contradiction on paper but so necessary day to day. it took
us both a long time to work this into our relationship.
ty so much you for your engaging and thoughtful comment.
and the nest invites
our love to soar forever
no clipped wings..just trust
{hugs} and it was beautiful – lucky lucky Scout
hah! a Haiku reply! that’s beautiful, ty for that Jen.
and i’ll say lucky lucky me most days, today i’ll say
lucky us because we are. sending Love and Hugs to you….
Beautiful and true. If you clip someone’s wings, they are no longer free to be themselves…and you only know and have part of the person you love.
it’s not an easy life lesson to learn either,
ty hitandrun, as always an enlightened comment from you.
Freedom is a thick tether!
yes it is, one of the many contradictions and mysteries of Love!
So beautiful.
I feel honored to have been a tiny spark.
Please allow me to share this weekend, with a link back? This week’s theme is (the freedom of) air — it will fit beautifully.
Do you know the song “Anna Begins” by Counting Crows? It came to mind after reading your piece.
It seems like I should say “as long as this is love…”
But it’s not all that easy so maybe I should just
snap her up in a butterfly net-
Pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried
I’ve done this sort of thing before
ty so much Christina, and sure, you can link it. do whatever you’d like
if it fits next week’s theme. hah, Counting Crows! yes, i do know this song,
they were an obsession for me for a while. i understand why this song would
come to mind, the poetry is beautiful.
That’s very kind, thank you, your words will shine.
You and Scout have a great night!

you are most welcome Christina, i’m so looking forward to
your post next weekend. …..more inspiration on the horizon!
Wow, that goes really deep — I really ‘get’ it.
hi Dawn, ty and i’m so glad you ‘got’ it, it took me a while
to figure it out and i had a hard time finding the exact words.
the Haiku discipline really helped flesh this one out!
You did a great job 😉
thanks Dawn, i appreciate that and i’m really enjoying
the Daily Dose of Passion so early in my day! lol
Your welcome and thank you too – glad you enjoyed.
Beautiful as always,
“and love needs trust to survive” isn´t that a truth.
thanks Charly, and yes Trust is one of the many
truths of that mysterious thing we all need!
… there is so much beauty and truth in this wonderful poem. Thank you for sharing it with us. Much love. – Noora
yes, and borne of experience too! there’s no other way to find out.
sending Love and Hugs to sweet Noora, have a wonderful day!

“love her with open arms” yes, precisely that…
Melanie, it’s taken me a long time to come to that realization,
maybe one of the most difficult to understand when we are in Love.
