Five Simple Lines

   I have often pondered, considered and even agonized over finding the perfect set of words. That one, magical, grouping of vowels, consonants and syllables that somehow encompass the whole of who I am, what I’ve done, where I’ve been and what I’ve seen. And tonight, in the most unexpected of places, in the most unexpected of ways and at the most unexpected of times, it seems that I have found them. Five simple lines that show you me, in my entirety:

“…but most importantly,
I have loved,
Been loved,
Am loved,
And love.”
