The pink light.........

There is a friend that I speak to pretty regularly, and she and I talk sometimes about the pink light........The pink light is magic......it is the light you hold the people you love in....the beautiful warm and sparkly light that surrounds them......especially when you are in love.....it is the space where you see their best......bring out their best....and feel like they do the same for you......inviting the best places in you to step forward.......and the existence of it is a mystery, but so is what causes it to go out......because once that pink light goes out for a person we loved, or once loved, it impossible to turn it back on.....and what is left is the raw truth of who they were......and maybe who they always were.....maybe it is our pink light that makes a person special to us, not having much to do with them at all.....at least not always........and maybe the pink light is love quite literally......which is also a beautiful mystery.....the inner workings of what makes us love another human......like really love them....and what makes it difficult for us to love other people or connect with them......but the pink light is the best part......and I have some people in my life that have remained bathed in that pink light.....my forever being able to see them, to feel them in that treasured space......and others that have done something to me along the way that has caused that light to dim......and some where that light has completely gone out.......leaving the stark truth standing there......and I am not sure what it was that pulled at me to write about this today....Maybe because I have been sharing some vibrant pink light with somebody I love as of late, and who loves me, and enjoying the way that feels, or maybe because I am so keenly aware of that same light having been completely extinguished with my ex......and seeing such a stark truth there.....or maybe just all of it.....but then as I thought of it I was wondering how do we, or how can we......keep that pink light alive....or does it have a natural path of its own.....finite or fading.....can we stay in the pink light in another person's eyes......by being committed to our relationship with them, and vice versa???......or does it eventually fade no matter what....and I guess as I pose that question the answer comes....I guess when two people really love one another, and are committed to each other, that light remains.....ironically all of my life my goal was to have a successful marriage and family.....and the marriage part has eluded me so far, that irony not being lost on me.....and not for a lack of trying......just is........but if you are reading this and your relationship is bathed in pink light and has remained that way for a long time....consider yourself blessed indeed:) The pink light is worth fighting for:)Happy Thursday!
