Its a cold, cold world out there, insecurities haunt us day and night, we are growing paler everyday...Parched lips, sad eyes, messy, unkept hair, neglecting ourselves...outwardly as well as inwardly. We are all so cold, shivering with fear...Is there any place left that is warm and safe?
When was the last time you felt safe and sound? The kind of safe and warm a baby feels inside his mother's womb. Just close your eyes, there is no danger around you, only warmth, coziness and love.
The bitter truth that we can't forever be sound outside, can't hide the fact that some of the most seemingly trivial moments in life have been saving us from completely getting lost in the darkness....
A gently resting hand on our shoulders of a friend...without saying a single word, he just assures us that 'I am right here!'
A tender kiss on the forehead...did you feel the love in it? Thats safety, its like the healing of an excruciatingly painful wound...slow, soft and tranquilizing.
An unexpected hug from a friend or family member...the arms protectively embracing our bodies, melting the ice inside...sometimes even unburdening, when latent tears stream down our face.
I believe no matter how much love has hurt us, its the only thing that can heal us back into the warm-blooded humans that we are. Its the only reason that the world is still in one piece. Its so warm, it radiates through pitch dark nights and kills the monsters of insecurities and fear.
Those little affectionate gestures can mean so much to someone who is breaking inside.
Love, be it from a friend, family or someone unexpected, gives us the strength to fight fear, fate and insecurities. It makes us feel Safe and Sound.
