When you love others

sometimes you carry them

sometimes they carry you

not like a weight

not like a burden

more like the way skydivers soar together

or children ride piggyback

or spirit guides and guardian angels provide covering ... 

what makes this work

is trust.

Knowing you are safe.

Knowing you are safe in the heart and hands of another.

Sometimes we feel called to be with those we love

when they are grieving

struggling

searching for their breath.

It isn't that we expect them to keep us company

It isn't that we expect them to have anything to give

It isn't that we expect to do anything at all for them.

Sometimes it is just to be there.

Sometimes it is them just being there for us.

Not to talk.

Not to do.

It is about just sharing the same space.

Sharing breath when someone can't find their own.

Just being together.

It's about presence.

It's about love.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.
