“Sharing the things of the soul is an integral part of building intimate relationships. Trusting another person enough to share the burdens of your heart and discuss the secrets of your innermost being is a huge milestone in this development. It is easy to share the things that go well, when you are successful, and when you are happy. However, it is more difficult to admit to failures when you are overwhelmed and when you are fearful.” –Teresa Reynolds, Fruit of the Vine

Query: Where is there more room for trust in your life and in your relationships?

Along with all the Broken Pieces

“You will be reconciled,” I heard

“It’s only a matter of when.”

So I wrote the letter that got no reply

Smiled across the way at the store

Didn’t duck down the next aisle

And as I did

I held for us both the certainty of wholeness

Because I can see it so clearly

So clearly

The way we will one day

In this world or a new one

Laugh and cry together

At the silly ways our hurt

And keen grief kept us apart

We will rejoice at the reuniting

What a powerful capacity

Seeing what is not yet

but will be

I can feel it taking shape

No, it has already taken shape

It is the truest becoming

–Bethany Lee, The Breath Between
