Love after Love\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The time will come
\nwhen, with elation
\nyou will greet yourself arriving
\nat your own door, in your own mirror
\nand each will smile at the other’s welcome,
\nand say, sit here. Eat.\u00a0<\/em>
\nYou will love again,\u00a0<\/em>
\nyou will love again,\u00a0<\/em>
\nthe stranger who was your self.
\nGive wine. Give bread.\u00a0<\/em>
\nGive back your heart
\nto itself, to the stranger\u00a0<\/em>
\nwho has loved you all your life,\u00a0<\/em>
\nwhom you ignored for another,\u00a0<\/em>
\nwho knows you by heart. <\/em><\/p>\n


\nTake down the love letters from the bookshelf,
\nthe photographs, the desperate notes,
\npeel your own image from the mirror. <\/em><\/p>\n


\nSit. Feast on your life. <\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

–Derek Walcott<\/p>\n

Feast on your life.\u00a0 How brilliant.\u00a0 What a deliciously gorgeous way to celebrate who you are.<\/p>\n

May you feel connected, comforted and full of peace<\/p>\n

Today. Now. Always.<\/p>\n

May your heart open in ways never before possible
\nrevealing the deepest truth of your fullest knowing.<\/p>\n

With Infinite Love and Gratitude<\/p>\n
