A letter

Love, to truly love someone sets your sky on fire with colours that melt into hues and drip day by day into your life. 
You are more than you realise for a lot of people. Know that you may not realise it, you may feel dulled by the day to day askings of the world but you are so so so loved, cherished and absolutely essential to the beauty in the world, to the light that many other need and see and feel in their lives.

Love is precious. It gives us the strength that we find difficult to ask for. It gives us the forgiveness we seek but don't offer to ourselves. It gives us the patience to grow, and be, and explore - a child once, a child always, to this universe.
Be.
and explode.

When carving out your path in the concrete, melt into the cracks, and flowers will grow out of it for you.
Life will rise up to meet you.
Allow yourself to melt.

Let yourself be,
simply,
purely, 
just be
and love will offer you
the openness of melting hues.
