This Day

I found myself truly and deeply touched this morning as I have been many times in this past week. Daring to dip my toes into the forbidden abyss of her friendship. Afraid of what danger and heartache lie ahead of the unknown as I partake, as it has been repeatedly cautioned to me by not just one, but many. Knowing that this same forbidden place was one that I yearned to visit for oh so long. Now, feeling relief somewhat of finally arriving there envelopes me. Everything surrounding me feels surreal. Even comforting. Hopeful that this new peaceful place I am absorbing does not become dark and barren. Keeping my fingers crossed that the storms don't begin raging, and if they should, wanting to believe that there will also be safety in the knowledge that we should not become nor had we ever been enemies. There are boundaries, no doubt, that are too dangerous to walk beyond, and I am aware of these things. As I have known for a very long time what similarities are surrounding this new place that I have found.
