In this space, where beginning meets the end, and the end births new beginnings, I surrender to you in deepest trust, knowing that in losing myself, I find you within me. And when you give yourself, not in sacrifice, but in recognition of the flow of giving and receiving. then in this moment, in this space we are neither you nor me. In this moment we are us, and we return to the place we have never left, yet always longed for.
The idea of finding a space, a place in your life, for a self that's greater than you - a self that you can constantly access through reciprocal contact with another person is central to who we truly are. This is another fine poem, Paul.
You’re done it again… written something that is exactly descriptive of something happening in my life that is so heartbreakingly beautiful… as always… thank you.
In this space a thermometer of mercury that rises and falls, clearly liquid expands,contracts, unconditional; yet records in a tube the trust that connects two together. What words to express the same state of consciousness. Blissful.
absolutely beautiful. I meditated with the word sacrifice- it's so ingrained in modern religion- I heard. to make sacred. and offering. to add to the great all that is knowing I'm still part of it. No separation, no blood, not death. a gift
thank you for sharing this beautiful piece in an offering out to the great unknown. It's heard!

That would be a great wedding vow.
I never thought of that, Paul, but why not?
You’re right, it would

Wonderful and insightful comment, Megan. Thank you!
This breathes trust, love and a relationship worth having. Love these words "in losing myself, I find you within me." Very personal!
And, of course, in losing herself she finds him within—this is the joining, the two-becoming-one that is so often expressed—Thank you, SE.
“we are us” is splendid!
Sometimes “we” don’t realize that there is an “us” that needs nurturing beyond our own individual needs. Thanks, Diane!
Yes, and it’s the “us” that keeps people married or liking one another’s approach in friendship. 💙
Awww … love. 💕
