"I was taunted so long. The meaning fluttered above my head, always out of reach. Now it has come to rest in me. It has pierced the very centre of the circle. I love, love, love -, but he is also all things: the nights, the resilient mornings, the tall poinsettias and hydrangeas, the lemon trees, the residential palms, the fruits and vegetables in gorgeous rows, the birds in the peppertree, the sun on the swimming pool. There is no room for pity, of anything. In a bleeding heart I should find only exhilaration in the richness of the red." - Elizabeth Smart

A revelation. I've been thinking for so long, searching for an answer to all my doubts and uncertainties, when all of a sudden it just hit me. There's no doubt, no uncertainty. Only love. For love warrants no fear, though it doesn't guarantee happiness. But focus on the love, and everything else ceases to matter as much. Even if it doesn't happen, at least I've tried. I've faced my fear of failure. And I've worked towards preventing what I fear most - to wake up one morning only to find that I have not loved.
