catching thoughts

there are many experiences in life that simply cant be expressed through words. they're better left to the natural course of our lives and the prayers that guide them.

its hard to explain a feeling. to catch a piece of it on paper is rare, but once it envelopes you, its crystal clear.

i thought about a mishmash of things today: achievement, expectations, failure, and in between it all: God. after contemplating for a while, I remembered one thing: that God loves us not for what we have to offer, but because we are family. and like good family, we love one another not because of achievement, but because we've walked life together.

like the mysterious and instantaneous bond between parent and child, so does God's love for us everlast.

i imagine love to be much like the same thing.
