Are you enjoying the meaning in the mundane?

Love Letter to Life. Simple Love and Complex Name

Her dark nose has become pink with age

in the shape of a heart that is anything but coincidence –

she captures my heart each morning I'm lucky enough to see her.

Our friendship has blossomed through a few seasons.

Starting out slow –

earning trust and respect with each encounter.

Now, when she sees me, she comes running to the fence

and jumps up for me to look into her dark and knowing eyes

tell her I love her

give her some scratches

and thank God we get to share life with so many incredible souls.

Maya

Her name is Maya

Maya, my golden friend with the simple love and complex name

māyā

Is she an illusion? A creation of my mind – a cosmic illusion?

Perhaps she is a phenomenal illusion to represent pure love

Yes, she is remarkable, but phenomenal, as in perceptible by the senses

heightening my senses

quickening my heartbeat

widening my pupils

flooding me with oxytocin

moving my lymph as my smile widens...

Meaning in the Mundane – Simple Love and Complex Name

Life.

Have a beautiful day, my friend.

xo, Denise
