Invisible Strings

There are invisible strings that tie us to people, places, and things. Sometimes they simply touch us, caressing our skin, letting us know that "this" means something. At other times, they entwine themselves within our very beings, creating a oneness. A feeling of completeness. 

There are times when those strings bind us to negativity, causing pain and heartache, and sacrifice for the sake of others we place more importantly than that of ourselves. For instance, someone you may have just met or have known for life, whose life is burdened and full of hardship, a string will reach out from that person and lay upon you. And so the process begins. You may feel the need to help, or feel burdened and want to flee. 

For me, the magic begin at the beach. When I am there, and I walk along the sand, feeling the sun shining down upon my face, with the wind blowing my hair and suddenly it happens! All of the strings of life surround me, piercing my soul with the happiness that only God brings to me. With every wave that crashes to the shore, with every grain of sand that I touch, and the whispers of God's love in my ears upon the wind, I am home. A deafening silence so strong that I can only hear God speak His love to me. 

I've been blessed to witnessed additional love and beauty upon my beach I love so much. I can no longer see myself as an individual but one of a multifaceted puzzle piece that is lost without the others. Being away brings a sadness that I am struggling to learn to adjust too but isn't that what life is about? Adjustments and sacrifice? Why does love have to sacrifice so greatly when it's beauty is more grand than the selflessness we've endured? There are no answers for that. 

I give unto you all my love, all that I have to give. The time that has come and gone, for Time does not really exist. The laughter and the pain. So long as the strings that tie us have been given then so has God's love. And with such comes a sacrifice that can never be compared to that which has already been paid.

Be assured that with every grain of sand, with every wave crashing to the shore, when the wind surrounds you until you cannot hear anything else, know that an Angel is there with you and you are loved above all things.
