In Arabic we don’t say “good bye” we say “فِي أَمَانِ اللّٰه ” which translates “I leave you in the care of Allah” and i think that’s beautiful.

“Looks like December will always remind me of love. There are whispers in the universe at this time of the year. As if there is some story waiting to write itself. It leaves me love notes on the wall, amidst the clouds, on sign boards across the road. It brings me dreams that I can't dare to forget, December brings me love wrapped as gifts, the same old love in new fancy boxes. I am running out of place in my heart to keep this vintage love. I always find gift boxes at my winter door, I open them with so much hope but every time, every single time, it only brings me back the same old love.”

No matter what season I may find myself in—
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the valley, low
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Or on the mountain, high,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Lord will be with me there.

I sculpted your body from the dust on the doorknob. I've hoarded your name in my mouth for months. My throat is a beehive pitched in the river. Look! Look how long this love can hold it's breath.
Sierra Demulder, Today Means Amen: Your Love Finds It’s Way Back

and that’s the hardest part
finding a heart that matches your own

One thing I continue to learn over and over is Gods plan always seems a whole lot better than anything I could make happen on my own.
