Through loving you ...

As I sat in front of him, he invited me home to my body, my heart and my soul.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
On the eve of my birthday, he invited me to Temple, to celebrate this sacred life in ceremony and ritual. It was the 1 July. ⁠⠀
⁠
Candles, roses, crystals, symbols on the altar, beautiful cloths ... ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
In truth the Temple revealed itself through our intentions, our presence and the vibration of our bodies. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As I met his body, I met my own.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As I felt his heart, I felt my own. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
As his soul gazed out through his eyes, I saw my own. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Tender, loving, embodied presence. Devotion and gratitude. Innocence and insight. Play and pleasure. Surrender and ecstasy. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
In my body I met Life (and death). ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
In my heart I met Love (and loss).⁠⠀
⁠⠀
In my soul I met the Universe (dark and light). ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The gift of Life is to love. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The gift of Love is to know the Universe. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
To know the Universe is to know One Self. ⁠⠀

In gratitude to my beloved Benjamin for this exquisite journey of loving.
