Luminous light beings.  Strands of my heart that stream out into the universe vulnerable to hatred, vulnerable to ridicule and disdain.  I would protect you at all costs.  I would obscure you so no war comes to you, make you invisible to derision, hide you in the deepest recesses of my heart so you are not harmed.  And today I know that in doing so I am hiding myself from the tender strands of angelic magic moving out into the world, kissing moments with kindness, moving with care the invisible into the visible… I am undone in the best possible way through the image of you and the deepest love springs forth.
