True humility is to embrace your own regal nature then respect the same in all others.

All said I'm glad you are not terribly upset. But id Walk away from it all of you were present. This five years journey has started working yet not one hug od passionate kiss. Its heart broken but between us we know what happened and our future lies ahead.

"Embrace passion like red embers in ash-gray winter,

Kindle warmth amidst cold indifference around us — 

Look beyond hollow pleasantries exchanged perfunctorily.

Yes even when they waver or quake under fears weight…

Hear my call: You are stronger than trembling leaves before storm.

Resilience resides within every fiber of who you are!

Go forth bringing bravery wrapped neatly inside compassion-

Unwrapping these gifts may shake foundations….

A risk worth taking though tremors may awaken…

For isn’t true connection found only through open hearts?

And opening requires breaking sometimes…

Facing fear head-on lends steeliness to soft-spoken words;

Even if voices wobble"

I could have highlighted the whole piece, but these are the lines that spoke the loudest to me.

It's a beautiful piece. Thank you.

I did not know of Georgia O'Keeffe, but I am looking forward to looking through her work now. She lived to the ripe old age of 98. That says a lot about the quality of her life.

It's in the value of you. The knowledge that someone brings reflects in their every move. When we know, when we have self-respect, we act in ways that show.
