I wrote this 2 days ago with her in mind.

For every night I spent alone,
For every heartbreak that I've known,
I thank you.

For every name that I've been called,
For everyone who made me bawl,
I praise you.

For every time I've doubted you,
For every lie I said was true,
I'm sorry.

For every angry song I wrote,
For every bitter, sordid note,
Forgive me.

'Cuz every hardship that I've cursed,
Could have been a million times worse.
And all my lonely, anguished tears,
Prepared me for the love that nears.

An answer to decades of prayer,
With beaming eyes, ravishing hair.
Emotions soar, my spirits lift
At the thought of this wondrous gift.

Lord, please make me stable and strong,
My heart open, my patience strong.
Sensitive to her every nerve
Make me the man that she deserves.

And I will never look back,
I will never look back,
Never look back,
Ever.

(good tears!)

Someones got a crush. Awww.

This is so beautiful...

Org History in the making!!!

Hi guys!

Ian, I'm sorry I missed your call earlier. I would've loved to hear all about it as I'm sure I will in the very near future. (hint hint) As I was out driving, listening to Annie Lennox, I got a bit weepy thinking about you. I'm so happy for you that I can't even begin to describe it. You can probably tell by how eager I've been with all my phone calls the past week. Sorry if we made it worse this evening with our group convo. We're just all very excited. I love you both and am so happy she made it there safely. Have a wonderful night and eventful couple weeks. Can't wait to see you guys!!! (L)

Was reading the poet Rumi, saw this and was reminded of your poem, Ian:

Not Here

There's courage involved if you want
to become truth. There is a broken-

open place in a lover. Where are
those qualities of bravery and sharp

compassion in this group? What's the
use of old and frozen thought? I want

a howling hurt. This is not a treasury
where gold is stored; this is for copper.

We alchemists look for talent that
can heat up and change. Lukewarm

won't do. Halfhearted holding back,
well-enough getting by? Not here.

Also, this one:
(but keep in mind how ancient this poetry is, so it can be a bit awkward, lol)

Love With No Object

There is a way of loving not attached to what is loved
Observe how water is with

the ground, always moving toward the ocean, though the ground tries to hold water's foot
and not let it go. This is how we are with wine and beautiful food, wealth and power,

or just a dry piece of bread we want and we get drunk with
wanting, then the headache

and bitterness afterward. Those prove that the attachment took hold and held you back. Now you proudly refuse help.

"My love is pure. I have an intuitive union with God. I don't need anyone to show me how to be free." This is not the case.

A love with no object is a true love. All else, shadow without substance. Have you seen someone fall in

love with his own shadow? That's what we've done. Leave
partial loves and find one

that's whole. Where is someone who can do that? They're
so rare, those hearts that carry

the blessing and lavish it over everything. Hold out your
beggar's robe and accept

their generosity. Anything not coming from that will damage
the cloth, like a sharp stone

tearing your sincerity. Keep that intact, and use clarity;
call it reason or discernment,

you have within you a deciding force that knows what to receive, what to turn from.
