Handwritten Notes:
a narrative and a particular level.
Because I've experienced it - .:.:
Now.
Back to a Christmas message. Something about
"LOVE KNOWS NO DISTANCE"
The light of love knows
no distance, no obstacle,
no walls.
I am not feeling
agliveness. Too many
dreadful tasks & distancing
Brevity.
"LOVE KNOWS NO DISTANCE."
