Take me at my word

Welcome back. Reminder: instead of a neat monologue, this is the whole conversation, typed word for word directly from my notebook. Let's see where we go from here ...

I always knew I was going to publish that first conversation, especially after what you said about playing safe but, even so, part of me can’t quite believe we did it. And now I’m wondering where we go from here?

Also, I stayed up late last night journalling and now, after a busy day in work, I’m tired and ready for bed but I want to journal with you because I’m fascinated. I’d love to know what’s on your heart? What are you thinking about?

And please don’t fob me off with the line about how much higher your thoughts are. I know I can’t really get a handle on all that you consider but I want to believe there must be something on your heart that I can understand? And if so, what is it?

One word … love. Don’t roll your eyes. Yes, I know all things and there are mysteries and things you can’t imagine but everything, all of it, always comes back to love because I am love.

And so that’s what I’m thinking about … love. Simples.

That’s it? You don’t have anything else you’d like to share right now?

Is this about word count, you needing or thinking you need a certain number of words written in order for this to “count”? Because no performance, remember? That’s what you asked for and I take you at your word, so please take me at my word - and my word is love.

You’ve been reading the next in a series of conversations. My intention is to keep journalling and sharing until I get a nudge to stop. I can’t promise a frequency and this is real life so I anticipate it might get messy. If either of these things bother you, feel free to click the “unsubscribe” button. I know this won’t be for everyone and so I won’t be the least bit offended.

That said, if you enjoy these conversations and know someone who would benefit from them, please share this email from them and/or suggest they follow along with the journey by subscribing.

In the meantime, thank you for reading and I look forward to sharing with you again soon!
