Just reflecting...

I chatted a little with Freakychica this evening. I think it's nice to know how one friendship can expand my concept of family and peace and serenity. John Lennon took risks to create a world where he was safe and felt loved. Did it cost him? Of course...for there is no risk that doesn't come with some loss. Best I can figure, maybe the loss was neccessary. For something new to enter, it sometimes requires something to exit.
Then I am reminded of blessed I really am. Although I have had to let go of important relationships, I have grown more fond of the ones I have chosen to nurture. Funny how love does that...always expanding, never contracting. Perhaps that's the whole point: Just Love. Wholly, freely; and the rest, well, in time, love will heal that too!
Or perhaps it maybe homemade Grape Jelly....
