love of God, both the heavens and the
earth. We see beauty in creation
because we experience love.
Yet when we gaze into the vastness of
space, we realize there is an inescapable void. A void that exists because of the moments in which we neglect one another, neglect ourselves, neglect love. When we turn away from love, the vastness of space appears to be consumed by the void.
The vastness of space can be overwhelming, resulting in us feeling insignificant and unlovable. We are easily caught up in the void. But the void always appears in between and amongst the beauty of love.
The beauty of love is visible to us, in a
myriad of colors and shapes, like
sunlight bouncing off clouds in the sky. And even the void is shaped by the surrounding clouds of love. The clouds move, able to diminish the void, or even fill the space in which the void used to occupy. We can choose to get lost in the void or we can choose to be found among the clouds.
When I am with her, I am surrounded by the clouds. And though the void remains, I am no longer diminished by it.
When I am with her, I see colors of
beauty swimming in the sky. And
though the void remains, she and I are
significant and lovable.
When I am with her, the vastness of
space abounds with love.
