I love you — yes you — so much that it’s almost painful.
Before you were formed I knew you.
I watched you exit the birth canal with glee.
I count every hair on your head as it changes daily.
I know your entire family tree,
who your closest friends are,
all of your dreams and aspirations.
I know what you have done in the past
and what you have yet to do.
I know when and how you depart from this earthly life
and journey to the next.
I know you past, present and future.
And because of that, I love you.
Yes, you — especially you — because you are uniquely, soulfully you.

Take a walk with me by reading my daily devotional book, Meditations on Mendocino by Sondra Sula. Available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle versions.
If you’d prefer a daily river walk, Reflections on the Fox River and Beyond by Sondra Sula, might just be the book for you.
