Searching in the Normality

Comfort and familiarity.  Acceptance and easy laughter.  A place where care and discipline go hand in hand, creating an environment of freedom and safety.  The atmosphere is thick and sweet, each atom stuffed to the brim with faithfulness, joy and affection; unacknowledged, however, not unfelt.  In this place, the chest is open, exposed and vulnerable.  Trust, secured at first breath, unbroken, beats down walls, tears down pride, destroys fear.  Day to day adventures, life tendencies, natural longings stretch and claw to fill a hole in the center of a being.  The heart is gone, it's committed to that place, locked in a safe of patience, kindness, perseverance, goodness, hope, humility, perfect and never-ending love.
