“A Place Where Love Reigns” | Photo by Rebekah Brackett, Brackett Studios

I long for a place known only by my dreams. A place where love reigns and the wide, open spaces of the soul expand and expand infinitely. The home where my heart is fully known, fully understood and fully accepted. The world in which I completely love my God and my neighbor, and yes — a world where I even truly love myself. So I call Heaven to come to Earth, to this mountain home where I feel so lost sometimes. I tell myself to breathe; to notice how the sun keeps rising and setting, how the world keeps turning without any thought to its schedule or timing; how the grasses and wildflowers move and sway in the evening breeze. I tell my heart to “hush” and embrace stillness and sit with the discomfort of the Unknown until Peace permeates every fiber of my being. Oh, beloveds… In this place, may I remind you: We are not alone.✨
