... rest and feeling at home ...

... resting in his arms ... receiving ... letting the hours while away whilst we nap, talk, hug, laugh ... recurring jokes ... anticipation of later ... that particular look of commiseration, remembrance, the twinkle in the eye ... feeling at home ... massages ...

... redemption ... fearless honesty, finally ... breaking through deception and misunderstanding and confusion ... a quiet kiss, a tight embrace, a reaching hand that says it all ... truths exchanged between eyes that cut through the dark mistiness ... tickle wars ... making plans ... knowing I am cared for in the most fervent of prayers ... knowing I am thought of all the time ...
