a web of love...

we build it carefully and slowly,

taking moments and days and sometimes years

we build it through time and action

words and deeds.

we build it with patience and determination

we string together trust and connnections

vulnerably at times and joyfully at others.

connections become stronger and more closely intertwined with each

and every interaction,

twisting close together, making the web strong and sturdy

with small spaces between the love.

it's hard to slip through small spaces.

this web of love is bouncy and wide and held sturdily between the people it encompasses.

instead of catching  bugs like a spider does

this web catches caring and love and encouragement

and hope and second chances and joyful moments.

it catches tears and heartache and feels the sobs in the night.

these strings glisten with the teardrops and  catch the joyful light that a new morning

casts.

 then all these wonders of love are bounced and spilled over

whenever they are needed.

always refilling with more for the next time.

sometimes the web of love sits quietly,

gathering dust if it isn't carefully tended with care.

daily tending makes for a strong web i am noticing.

there are days, months and sometimes years that can go by

but the moment there is love needed

all the wonderful qualities that are stored amongst the strands

 spill off and into and onto and all around

 the person who is needing help

or a friend or just someone who believes in them.

we have been building a web with great determination these past few years.

our web has seen so many different contributors and the additions are so wonderful and good.

love is so wonderful and good.

i am in love with the belief that love can save lives.

love is always the answer.

at least that's what my heart says to me.

we are still busy here

in our little home

helping with the

saving of a shiny, bright life.

she is doing her own hard, true work and we stand holding the web,

spilling the love goodness  all over her

the journey isn't over.

please believe with us that our web is a catcher of souls

and a sharer of love.

our web is so strong,

thanks to our community of lovers,

that not one will slip though the holes.
